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:
Voices of Russian Literature offers a unique inside view of Russia's literary experience over the last four decades. Ten of Russia's finest writers reflect on their work and lives, tracing the upheavals in Russian culture from the post-Stalinist thaw of the 1950s to the present day. Introductory essays by Sally Laird provide literary and historical contexts for these fascinating contemporary testimonies.
MoreLong description:
Voices of Russian Literature presents in-depth interviews with ten of the most interesting figures writing in Russian today. They range from established authors such as Fazil Iskander and Andrei Bitov, who began their careers in the post-Stalinist Thaw, to newcomers like Viktor Pelevin, hailed as one of the most original writers of the present era. It offers an insiders' account of the fate of Russian literature over the past four decades. Rather than cataloguing the opinions of 'dissidents' or 'defenders' of the former regime, it presents the views of artists who have sought, against the odds, to express their unique visions of a changing world.
Each interview acquaints us with the author's distinctive voice and provides important insights into the genesis and interpretation of individual works. Sally Laird has prefaced the interviews with biographical and critical sketches of each writer, and her introductory essay sets the whole in historical context. Voices of Russian Literature will be fascinating reading for anyone interested in Russia's contemporary literary experience.
Laird's book provides a window into the extensive Russian literary world that exists outside of the political arena. Voices of Russian Literature is an excellent resource for scholars, students or anyone interested in life and the literary experiene in Russia over the last forty years.
