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:
An immersive journey through trees in Japan by celebrated writer Aya Koda --- now available in English for the first time
---Trees are not just living things, but feeling beings, like us. Better keep a watchful eye over them------
Ezo spruce, hinoki, cherry blossoms. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan cast a spell on those who visit its landscape. But as a child, writer Aya Koda realized they were more than objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she learned that we depend on trees as much as they do on us --- and spent a lifetime trying to understand them.
Mesmerising and poignant, Tree is written in a Japanese genre called zuihitsu which means ---following the brush---. Here we follow Aya Koda on a journey to discover Japan---s most remarkable trees. As she witnesses landslides and forests of falling ash, she encounters fresh saplings and ancient, ungovernable roots, learning how each tree contains its own unique story.
Now translated into English for the first time, Koda---s work echoes down the generations, reminding us that trees hold a mirror to who we are, and what we leave behind.
