Entrepreneurs
10,00 €The short novel Entrepreneurs by Mathias Nawrat, one of the most interesting voices of the new generation of German writers, can be situated into the dystopian tradition of the science-fiction genre with elements of social criticism. The story is happening in a well-known world, labeled by the geographical toponym Schwarzwald; however, this world underwent a certain kind of apocalypse – about which nothing is said explicitly, but we guess it had something to do with nuclear power – and the rules of an advanced technocratic society do not function any more, although they are not totally suspended. Through this fragmentary world, where nature, technology and waste interlace and form grotesque figures, roams the protagonist and narrator Lipa, a thirteen-year old girl. With her father and brother she collects different kinds of toxic leftovers while calling this activity entrepreneurship. The life of her family, in unstable balance on the edge of poverty and danger, is approaching the inevitable catastrophe.
Zaljubljena pokojnica i druge priče
15,00 €Fantastične pripovijesti čine značajan dio opusa velikog francuskog romantičara Théophilea Gautiera, no u Hrvatskoj gotovo uopće nisu prevođene, unatoč autorovom statusu klasika. U našem izboru njegove fantastične proze nalazi se devet pripovijesti (Kafetijera, Onuphrius, Omfala, Zaljubljena pokojnica, Lula opijuma, Dvostruki vitez, Stopalo mumije, Dva glumca za jednu ulogu, Arria Marcella) koje na različite načine uključuju elemente nadnaravnog. U tim pričama pojavljuje se standardni repertoar fantastičnih motiva dragih prvoj generaciji romantičara, no T. Gautier im pristupa na originalan način, subverzivno im izvrćući uobičajene konotacije, stvarajući neobične zaplete, igrajući se tjeskobom i ironijom. Budući da se radi o autoru koji je u prvom redu bio pjesnik (Baudelaire ga je nazivao „besprijekornom pjesnikom, savršenim čarobnjakom francuskoga jezika“), njegov se jezik odlikuje osobitom gustoćom i sugestivnošću, a prema nekim kritičarima, stilski vrhunac njegovog proznog opusa upravo su pripovijesti koje smo odabrali.
Three Tales from The Tale of Tales
10,00 €Mala zvona is proud to present the first Croatian translation of a selection of stories from Giambattista Basile’s famousTale of Tales (Lo cunto de li cunti or Il Pentamerone)
Basile’s collection, written in the 17th century in Neapolitan dialect, served as an inspiration to numerous fairy tale writers over the centuries; Basile’s motifs can be traced through many famous collections, such as those written by Perrault or the brothers Grimm.
In these grotesque stories – which are by no means intended for children – Basile teaches the reader about virtue, vice, deception and love while using a flamboyant Baroque rhetoric. Our selection includes the following stories: The Enchanted Doe, The Flea and The Old Woman Who Was Skinned who were also used as a pretext for Matteo Garrone’s multiple award-winning movie Il racconto dei racconti.
