    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:

    From the Sunday Times bestselling author, a dazzling, globe-spanning history of humankind's greatest invention: the city.

    'Brilliant...enchanting' Evening Standard 'Exhilarating' New York Times

    The story of the city is the story of civilisation. From Uruk and Babylon to Baghdad and Venice, and on to London, New York, Shanghai and Lagos, Ben Wilson takes us through millennia on a thrilling global tour of the key urban centres of history.

    Rich with individual characters, scenes and snapshots of daily life, Metropolis is at once the story of these extraordinary places and of the vital role they have played in making us who we are.

    'Panoramic...entertaining and rich in wondrous detail' Tom Holland

    'A towering achievement... Reading this book is like visiting an exhilarating city for the first time' Wall Street Journal
