Iskar: 44 (ne)navadnih predmetov od blizu in daleč

Kot namiguje podnaslov, knjiga Iskar vsebuje zgodbe o 44 predmetih od blizu in daleč. Radovedna in raznolika zbirka, urejena po tematikah, vključuje presenetljive najdbe z vsega sveta: škornje iz Butana, tlakovce z Gaudijevim vzorcem iz Barcelone, kozarce za vino iz Baskije, broško v obliki srca iz Sarajeva, espadrile iz Pirenejev, skarabeje iz starega Egipta, škatlo smeti iz New Yorka, kos oranžne tkanine s plavajočih pomolov na jezeru Iseo, slovenskega rjovečega zmaja, zemljevid vzhodnega Berlina in še mnogo več.

Ko Ekaterina Petrova pripoveduje zgodbe o teh predmetih, pravzaprav pripoveduje tudi o krajih, od koder prihajajo – Kustendorf in Katmandu, Ljubljana in Louisiana, Belvedere in Bilbao, Selçuk in Centralni park –, ter jih umešča v širši jezikovni, kulturni, zgodovinski, antropološki ali geografski kontekst. Umetelna mešanica potopisov, esejev in zgodb je skrbno raziskana in podkrepljena z zanimivimi dejstvi, vendar prežeta s subjektivnim pogledom avtorice in njeno osebno biografijo popotnice, prevajalke in iskarke.

Oblikovanje in podoba knjige, ki jo je ustvarila Ljuba Haleva, ena najvidnejših sodobnih bolgarskih ilustratork, dobro in s smislom za humor pričara duh zgodb. Tako tudi sama knjiga postane čudovit predmet, ki prinaša užitek in veselje – za branje in ponovno branje, za posedovanje in obdarovanje.

In The End (Koniec)

Metaphysical and blasphemous novel about the tragedy of war that never meets a clean end with a peace treaty. The war goes on, residing within its victims who carry it from one generation to the next.

Malwina, an exceptionally sensitive girl, experiences her grandmother’s wartime memories in her dreams. This makes her exist in two parallel realities at once: the 1940s Eastern borderlands and Siberia along the 1990s Poland. Those realities seep and bleed through one another, making Malwina a catcher of her survivor grandmother’s dreams, or perhaps a dybbuk who gives voice to the dead. To Malwina, the war persists, haunting her day and night alike. Poignant and piercing, Koniec is an impressively well-crafted prose.

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.
