Out of the Atelier

10,00 

New poetry collection by Sanja Lovrenčić.

 

still life: frozen begonias

brush captures the moment:
the stem still looks solid
ice in its heart makes it
apparently alive
while the sun is shining fervently
upon deep-frozen world

you see in the background:
someone left open
the veranda door
in the coldest night

malicious master painter in the picture
on a piece of auxiliary something
delivery box perhaps in which arrived
everything that’s crammed in the corner
is painting the rotting the gray the weary
plants as they will be
in only a few hours –

but not yet

In the Direction of the Beginning (Early Short Stories)

10,00 

A collection of twenty short stories written simultaneously with the first poems that made the fame of Dylan Thomas. Creating his dense web of images, the young author is dealing (not without irony) with the big issues, life and death, love and madness, interweaving Welsh countryside and motives of local legends in impressive texts that defy all categorization.

4 Tales from the Country of Rabbits

10,00 

In the county of rabbits the young reader will get to know the caring rabbit mom, dad who tells bedtime stories, their sons Eusebius the diary writer, Hugo the trumpet player, and other members of the large family, whose merry adventures are told in pictures interwoven with words. Texts by Pika Vončinahave an original ludic quality and often contain unobtrusive reflection about the natural world and human relations.

Logbook

10,00 
Logbook by Austrian writer Franz Hammerbacher was written during the voyage around the world on large container ships, the voyage which, accidentally, lasted eighty days. Discrete humor, actuality and  elegant style brought the author a number of readers and critical acclaim.
Ship’s log is a means of the preservation of evidence, but it remains unclear what it was to be proved by it. The meaning of the notes is created only retroactively. It is vital that the log is kept chronologically and politely, regardless of the current mood and inspiration. Extraordinary events are recorded as rarely as they occur. Ship’s diary in the first place is the record of everyday life .  Using the logbook method, Franz Hammerbacher reports on events such as the spectacular passage through the Panama Canal or the dangerous waterways near the Somali coast, as well as on the small events in the lives of crews and passengers, drawing the reader into his documentary story that slides almost imperceptibly from the recorded moments on the sea into the meditation about the voyage that is life.

 

Bodies Are Easy Targets

10,00 

The new collection of poems by Aida Bagić was created during a period of several years, following her acclaimed book If my name is Sylvia (2007). Dealing with memories, everyday life, “sounds of her own interior”, the author is primarily concerned with poetic language, referring back to Croatian poets experimenters like Ivan Slamnig and Anka Žagar. Out of the memories, fragments of fairy tales, transformed shards of everyday life, Aida Bagić creates a coherent poetic world, affirming it again and again as the only fragile possibility of belonging.

Fairy Tale of Shallow Waters

10,00 

Picture book based on seashore debris used to evoke a setting and to provoke a story: shells and rubble become seashore, stones and wire become fish, and a little pebble-island becomes a witness of a fair tale that suddenly happens in the shallow water. The writer and the illustrator create an interplay between elements (water, stone, wind), transforming the ordinary set of things into a fantastic movement of awakened life. Fairy Tale of Shallow Waters served as a basis for a number of art workshops for preschool children.

Little Dictionary of Biblical Women

10,00 

Renowed Croatian poet and short story writer Dorta Jagić offers a series of highly original literary portraits of biblical heroinesdrawing on material from the biblical narrativebut also from various other sourcesThe author gives her heroines imagined personal traits, poetic details of hairface or gaitand more then an occasional hidden thought, connecting them boldly with contemporary world.

Emilija’s Very Extraordinary Adventure

10,00 

Emilija the sheep, Pika Vončina’s calm and pleasantly modest children’s book character, is well-loved in Croatia. The present volume, whose title promises an “Adventure”, is not concerned with a dangerous quest, though Emilija does fly with the wind and dive with the fish. Rather, the little sheep becomes acquainted with the elements, and learns about the special nature of the air, earth, water, and even the stars. This happy dream journey is narrated in a laconic style. Vončina’s characteristic whimsical typography and word play further add to this gentle little picture book, whose plot end where it began: as a good-night-story on the pillow (Age: 4+)

 

 

Tijela su laka meta

10,00 

Nova zbirka Aide Bagić sadrži pedesetak, što dužih, što kraćih pjesama koje su nastajale tijekom višegodišnjeg razdoblja, nakon njezine zapažene zbirke pjesama Ako se zovem Sylvia (2007.). Baveći se sjećanjima, svakodnevicom, „zvucima vlastite unutrašnjosti“, autorica se u prvom redu bavi pjesničkim jezikom, nadovezujući se na pjesnike eksperimentatore poput Ivana Slamniga i Anke Žagar. Od elemenata izgubljenih sjećanja, privatnih uspomena i privatnih fikcija, fragmenata bajki, preobraženih krhotina svakidašnjice, Aida Bagić stvara koherentan poetski svijet, potvrđujući ga uvijek iznova kao jedinu krhku mogućnost pripadanja.

Krokodili

10,00 

Autorica i teksta i ilustracija, Pika Vončina već nekoliko godina gradi i proširuje svoj fantastični svijet životinja te sada u njega, nakon omiljene ovce Emilije, kokoši Hilde, šarenih stanovnika Zečje zemlje i mačaka sklonih pripovijedanju, smješta i  nekoliko krokodila. Ova knjiga, koja količinom teksta nadilazi uobičajene okvire slikovnice, donosi čitateljima (u dobi od četiri do osam godina) četiri priče. Jesenko je priča o krokodilskim suzama i neutješnom plakanju, Jaroslav – o krokodilu koji se boji vode i plivanja; Strahimir – o Strahimirovim letećim papirnatim pticama; Florijan – o krokodilu koji je rijetko zelen, a češće plav, bijel i crven. Priče su samostalne cjeline, različitih likova i atmosfere, a glavne kvalitete ove slikovnice, kao i drugih autorskih slikovnica Pike Vončine, jesu prožimanje verbalnih i vizualnih elemenata, jednostavnost i autentičnost pripovjedačkog glasa te primjerenost dobnoj skupini kojoj je djelo namijenjeno.

Od kraja prema početku – priča o Kennyju i Kalleu

10,00 

U svom kratkom tekstu o Kennyju i Kalleu autor se na majstorski način bavi temama prijateljstva i gubitka. To je pripovijest o jednom dječaku i popravljaču bicikla koji žive u istoj gradskoj četvrti – Vesterbro u Kopenhagenu – krajem šezdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Kalle, stari morski vuk, uvijek je pun priča; njegove priče i njegov posao privukli su sedmogodišnjeg Kennyja te se između njih dvojice stvara tiho prijateljstvo. No jednoga ljeta, dok dječak provodi školske praznike na moru, njegov prijatelj umire u požaru. Dječak tuguje, ali pronalazi maleno blago: razglednice iz različitih luka u kojima je Kalle bio; one postaju svojevrsna potvrda prijateljstva s Kalleom i dječakova utjeha.
