    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.

    Short description:

    Originally a missionary, Verrier Elwin became one of India's greatest anthropologists. This lively, touching book draws on the diary he kept during his stay in the Maikal hill-village of Karanjia between 1932 and 1936. Writing with the ease of a born raconteur, Elwin provides a colourful picture of Gond life and depicts the efforts of an Ashram's diverse inmates (`Christians, Hindus, a Brahmin, a Mussalman, Gonds, Polytheists, henogamists, monogamists, celibates...all united') to
    improve the quality of education, diet, health, agriculture, and dress in the village.
