    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:

    Reading Rembrandt: Beyond the Word-Image Opposition explores the potential for an interdisciplinary methodology between visual art and literature. In a series of close analyses of works by ?Rembrandt? ? works as we see them today, through all the ways of seeing and commenting that precede ? and texts related to those works, Mieke Bal questions the traditional boundaries between literary and visual analysis. Bal also studies Rembrandt?s complex handling of gender and the representation of women in Rembrandt?s painting. The methods used in this study come from both in- and outside the history of art. They demonstrate the author?s sensitivity to the visual aspects of Rembrandt?s work as meaningful. The works by Rembrandt gain in depth and interest, but an original perspective of the role of visuality in our culture also emerges, which ultimately has consequences for our views of gender, the artists, and the act of reading.

    ?Reading Bal reading ?Rembrandt? is like watching a fireworks display.? Michael Ann Holly, Semiotica
