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.

Sve dobre barbike

“Sve dobre barbike” je roman o Vanji, milenijalki koja puni trideset godina i shvata da u njenom životu ništa nije kako je mislila da će biti. Nije postala poznata umetnica, već je scenaristkinja jeftinih sapunica, nema decu, nije u ljubavnoj vezi, anksiozna je preko svake mere i odnosi sa članovima porodice joj nisu baš najbolji. Kada joj se na vratima stana pojavi bivša devojka sa bebom, Vanja je uprkos činjenici da joj je Svetlana slomila srce, pušta da ostane kod nje neko vreme. To je navede da preispita svoj život. Rastrzana između želje da radi ono što voli i uspe da preživi u Beogradu danas, Vanja shvata da mora nešto da promeni. Ishitreno daje otkaz na sapunici koju piše, a istovremeno je gazda izbacuje iz stana da bi uselio bračni par iz Rusije od koga može da dobije mnogo veću kiriju. Svetlana odlazi, iznova je napušta, a Vanja ostaje sama i odjednom se oseća kao da je iznova devojčica koja ne može da se brine o sebi. Dok pakuje stvari, slučajno prospe ključalu vodu po svojoj nozi i napravi ozbiljnu opekotinu. A onda se zapita - da li je zaista bilo slučajno? Ne znajući šta da radi, Vanja se vraća da živi kod majke, u mali grad nadomak Beograda, a tamo je čeka sve ono od čega je pobegla.
