    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:

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE A modern masterpiece that "reminds us of the power of truth in the face of evil (People) and can be read on its own or as a sequel to Margaret Atwood s classic, The Handmaid s Tale.  

    Atwood s powers are on full display (Los Angeles Times) in this deeply compelling Booker Prize-winning novel, now updated with additional content that explores the historical sources, ideas, and material that inspired Atwood. 
     
    More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results.
     
    Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia.  Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways.
     
    With The Testaments, Margaret Atwood opens up the innermost workings of Gilead, as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

    A chilling invitation no Atwood fan can resist . . . The Testaments reminds us of the power of truth in the face of evil.
    People
     
    Margaret Atwood s powers are on full display . . . Everyone should read The Testaments.
    Los Angeles Times
     
    A fast, immersive narrative that s as propulsive as it is melodramatic.
    Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
     
    The Testaments is worthy of the literary classic it continues. That s thanks in part to Atwood s capacity to surprise, even writing in a universe we think we know so well.
    USA Today
     
    The women of Gilead are more fascinating than ever.
    NPR
     
    There may be no novelist better suited to tapping the current era s anxieties than Margaret Atwood.
    Entertainment Weekly
     
    Powerful, revealing, and engaging.
    The Boston Globe

     
    A rare treat . . . a corker of a plot, culminating in a breathless flight to freedom.
    Laura Miller, Slate
