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:
Athol Fugard is one of the most respected and frequently studied of living dramatists. Working in active collaboration with the people of the South African townships, his plays are informed and powerful portraits of the black urban experience.
Edited with an Introduction, notes, and a glossary by Dennis Walder, a leading critic of South African literature, this book collects the five `township plays' - Nongogo, No-Good Friday, Sizure Bansi is Dead, The Island, and The Coat - in a single volume for the first time, the latter of which has never been published in Britain before.
Long description:
The five plays collected here offer a unique insight into the role of theatre in a situation of oppression. They were produced in close collaboration with their original black amateur casts, drawing on their lives and everyday experiences in the townships. They range from the early apprentice work of the brash but vital Sophiatown plays, No-Good Friday and Nongogo, to the freer, more urgent, and profound New Brighton plays, including the most famous Sizwe Bansi is Dead and The Island, and the previously unavailable The Coat.
