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.

Recounting survivors' stories of life behind the Iron Curtain ? and under the iron fist of the Stasi, East Germany's brutal state security force, this deeply moving account of the resistance against East Germany's communist dictatorship presents an extraordinary window of insight into life behind the Wall. Original. 25,000 first printing.
MoreLong description:
In 1961, a man painted a line through the streets of Berlin. The wall that was built along it would divide the city and its inhabitants for nearly three decades, with those living in the east policed by the Stasi--the brutal state security forces. Years after its fall, Anna Funder met the man who painted that line, along with many others from East Berlin, and asked them to tell their stories. The result, written with intelligence, humor and compassion, is an extraordinary insight into life behind the Wall. A brilliant and necessary book about oppression and history --Rachel Cusk, Evening Standard Books of the Year STASILAND demonstrates that great, original reporting is still possible...a heartbreaking, beautifully written book. A classic. --Claire Tomalin, Guardian Books of the Year A journey into the bizarre, scary, secret history of the former East Germany that is both relevant and riveting. --Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times
