    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:

    In Bengali literature Buddhadeva Bose was truly a phenomenon. A versatile writer, comfortable in genres as diverse as poetry, novel, short story, drama, essay, travelogue, and memoir---he was also an influential editor and critic, a translator of poetry who had a profound impact on younger poets, a writer for children, and a pioneer in comparative literary studies.
    This volume presents a substantial selection of Bose's poems in English translation along with a detailed Introduction by the translator Ketaki Kushari Dyson, herself a distinguished bilingual poet, and necessary critical apparatuses. This book will prove useful to students and teachers of language and literature, Indian writing in translation, translation studies, as well as general readers.
