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:
This book proposes that the Sanskrit Mahābhārata’s main character, King Yudhiṣṭhira, serves as a conduit for the integration and organization of diverse ideas of salvation. Notably, he aids to redefine mokṣa as selfless action done for the sake of duty.
MoreLong description:
How does the Sanskrit Mahābhārata act as a religious text? What is the relation between this text’s ideas of salvation and its main character King Yudhiṣṭhira? This book shows that Yudhiṣṭhira serves as a medium for the organization of diverse soteriological ideas. Examining this character’s narrative trajectory of struggles and redemptions, this book shows he is intimately associated with mokṣa (liberation from rebirth). Importantly, Yudhiṣṭhira serves to redefine mokṣa as selfless action performed as part of a person’s inherited duty (svadharma), action done for the sake of dharma alone.
