    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Between the Thaw and the Prague Spring, Socialist Europe experienced a brief yet intense period of intellectual ferment. Intellectual Production in Socialist Europe 1956-1968 explores the shifting landscape of literature, philosophy, literary theory, and political thought in the wake of Stalinism and on the cusp of postmodernism. Bridging cultural analysis and intellectual history, this volume offers fresh insights into a period that shaped Socialist Europe for decades.
