    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.

    A gripping account of survival and recovery from internationally renowned writer and Booker Prize-winner Salman Rushdie
    ?A masterpiece... Extraordinary? Daily Telegraph?A story of hatred defeated by love? Guardian

    On the morning of 12 August 2022, Salman Rushdie was sitting onstage in upstate New York, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black ? black clothes, black mask ? rushed down the aisle towards him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it?s you. Here you are.

    What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond. Now, for the first time, Rushdie relives the traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey of healing and recovery.

    This an intimate meditation on life, loss, love, art ? and finding the strength to stand up again
