Dingenzoeker: 44 (on)gewone objecten van dichtbij en veraf

Verhalen over verrassende vondsten uit de hele wereld: laarzen uit Bhutan, stoeptegels uit Barcelona naar ontwerp van Gaudí, wijnglazen uit Baskenland, een broche uit Sarajevo, espadrilles uit de Pyreneeën, scarabeeën uit het oude Egypte, een doos met afval uit New York, een kaart van Oost-Berlijn, en nog veel meer. Ekaterina Petrova vertelt over de plaatsen waar ze vandaan komen en geeft ze een bredere culturele, historische en antropologische context. Haar persoonlijke ervaringen als reiziger, vertaler en non-fictieschrijver klinken er steevast in door. De vormgeving, door een van Bulgarijes opmerkelijkste hedendaagse illustratoren, geeft op prachtige en humoristische wijze de sfeer van de teksten weer. Een boek om te lezen en te herlezen, om te hebben en om weg te geven.
