Imagination and a certain freedom in his relation to language as well as an authentic poetical experience characterize Josip Čekolj’s first poetry collection. In four parts – four zeals – the lyrical voice of this young and talented author celebrates the novelty of his first worlds, from the home region, both in a concrete and a symbolic form, to the world of family and first loves. The magic of these poems mostly arises from the peculiar shifts from real to surreal, from bright images that depict an underlying emotion. The author builds his space of words, a space that is built from moments he has experienced. This space is often related to motives that originate in nature and in traditional culture, but it is consistently original, full of surprises and freshness.

In “Travertine Bridge”, the author Jana Prević Finderle, based on her own experience and memories, introduces us to the life of travelers and the world of travel. The short travel sketches act like original postcards addressed to the reader; a concise description derived from the author’s impression of a place, fellow traveler, or guest turns into a vivid picture before our eyes. From a modest summer vacation on the Adriatic Sea in early childhood, to somewhat later family car trips to Paris and London, to independent wanderings around the world in adulthood, the author’s text, sometimes humorous, sometimes melancholic, and almost always nostalgic, seems somehow familiar to us and encourages us to embark on an adventure ourselves. The text is accompanied by drawings by Mate Rupić, who skillfully and thoughtfully transferred some of the vivid moments of Jana’s stories to paper using the ink technique.
An architect with previous experience as author, in his new book conceived as a sort of travel journal, Tomislav Pavelić reflects on the (co)relationships between man and nature, space and place, history and the present. At the end of his often erudite considerations, he asks questions that serve as both the starting point and the destination of these journeys. Without offering hasty answers, he invites us to approach universal problems with an open mind, illustrated in concrete examples of the regions visited, which form the colorful and dynamic decor of this book: places like Armenia, Sicily, Andalusia, Albania etc. All of these locations and cultures can teach us something about the past, but at the same time they allow us a clearer view into the murky and uncertain future of our civilization.
