On Music
12,00 €A collectionof music critiques and essays by Croatian film director and erudite Zvonimir Berković. Texts he wrote over several decades for newspapers and magazines are collected in this book and divided into four parts: Critique – Portraits – Meditations – Conversations. Collected and edited by Bosiljka Perić Kempf.
Zvonimir Berković wrote about music only occasionally, in the mid sixties and the first half of the seventies, for several newspapers and magazines. He left chronicles of the music lives of festival cities as Dubrovnik and Vienna, but he also wrote reviews of both local and foreign artists’ performances during the Zagreb concert season. Most interesting, however, are the author’s imagination and subtle (and not only musical) taste in the portraits of musicians, interpreters and composers. Music had a deep impact in Berković’s work of movie director, especially in his “Rondo”, a Croatian classic made in 1966.
#openwindow
15,00 €This collection of short texts enitled “#openwindow” is an outstanding example of how high-quality and original literature can be created on social media. For a year, author Aida Bagić wrote morning notes while looking out the window in her bedroom and published them on social media, with accompanying photographs. This project was called #openwindow, and resulted in a variety of texts – prose and poetry fragments, comments on daily events, notes on dreams and memories, wordplay and sketches of fairy tales. Often meditative, sometimes factual or playful, they reveal that the author is a skilled writer with an experience in writing poetry. Collected in this book, these notes show how an everyday object can stimulate our imagination, reflection, and introspection. Created in front of a window that opens onto external landscapes, they outline the author’s world of thought and emotion as a unique and interesting inner landscape. These texts are also an invitation to readers to think about their own everyday life, about ways in which they could rethink it so that it is not only more bearable, but also a source of genuine curiosity, sometimes even joy.
Paintings
12,00 €Paintings, a collection of prose poems, brings Segalen’s descriptions of imaginary Chinese visual art: thereby a dialogue is opened not only between different cultures, but also between different artistic media. The reader wanders around these foreign, strange places, sometimes lost, sometimes amazed but is always lead forwards by Segalen’s virtuoso writing.
Mala zvona brings the first integral Croatian translation of this poetic masterpiece.
