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:
... sheds light on poetry written from both sides of the political spectrum and shows the influence of imperialist discourses in both cases. The book challenges us to reread antiwar poetry as, in fact, conventional. In addition, Chattarji's argument provides a fascinating opportunity to compare little-read prowar veteran poetry with antiwar poetry, which has enjoyed more critical acclaim. This refreshing, updated, and unflinching look at imperialist narratives that provide foundations for rethinking and reacting to political and historical tragedy is perhaps the book's greatest contribution.
