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:
This book presented a profile of Muslim culture, when this aspect of Islamic history was neglected. V.V.Bartold, with exemplary clarity and organization of the topic which is reader-friendly, brings out all the ethnic varieties of Muslim culture, from the advent of Islam to the era when cultural leadership passed to the West. This pioneering work still retains its relevance and validity and has been the precursor of many learned monographs. The author's Russian
domicile gave him a perception of culture in Central Asia, an aspect not given prominence by scholars who were differently situated. The translation is by Shahid Suhrawardy and the Foreword has been written by Sir Hassan Suhrawardy , then Vice-Chancellor of the Calcutta University.
Long description:
The greatest impact of Islam on history has been cultural yet, this aspect of Islamic history has been neglected in comparison to political and judicial history. V.V. Bartold, the Russian historian was one of the first scholars to project Muslim culture. In this world, Bartold gave primacy to clarity and the organization of knowledge. He posits the position of Islam in world history to the position of Christianity as a cultural force in both the Roman and the eastern
worlds. Bartold's Russian vantage made him a specialist on Islam in Central Asia; hence Ajam culture, Persian in the first instance, and Turco-Mongol in the second, find their proper place, with the result that the Abbasid and post-Abbasid Muslim cultures find their proper place. The Mongol invasion
is not treated merely as destruction and disruption of Muslim culture, but also as a factor which affected late medieval culture. Most of the great exponents of Muslim culture, Ibn Khaldun and Avicenna are covered. Bartold concludes with remarking on the effect on his native Russia of the passing of cultural leadership from the East to the West. This monograph is remarkable for retaining its relevance and validity after almost a whole century and a host of intervening specialised works in the
intervening period. This work was translated four years after the author's death by Shahid Suhrawardy, an eminent scholar in his own right, and the Foreword has been written by Sir Hassan Suhrawardy, then Vice-Chancellor of the Calcutta University.
An extremely thoughtful and informative analysis of Muslim culture and history.
