Nikogar ni, ki bi ti bil podoben (Leteči ljudje)

Kratke zgodbe v zbirki Leteči ljudje druži stikanje s tujimi in neizživetimi življenji: preslikave se dogajajo tako znotraj zgodb kot v druge, že napisane zgodbe, pa tudi v resnično življenje. Zgodbene niti, zaznamovane s kratkimi stiki in odprtimi možnostmi, se pnejo kot žice daljnovodov skozi mestni trušč. Protagonisti pogosto sanjarijo o življenjih, ki bi jih lahko živeli, ta pa pred njih stopajo včasih kot prikazni, včasih pa kot povsem otipljive alternative. Odnehanje in pasivnost se v zbirki pojavita večkrat, vendar pogosto kot (paradoksalno) ključen element aktivnega odpora proti nastalim okoliščinam. Leteči ljudje se dogajajo na razpotju različnih usod, tam, kjer je mogoče vse, četudi le za hip. Ajda Bračič (1990) je arhitektka, urednica in publicistka. Kot piska in urednica sodeluje z več slovenskimi mediji s področja arhitekture in kulture. Za svoje pisanje je prejela nekaj nagrad na prepoznavnih literarnih natečajih. Zbirka kratke proze Leteči ljudje je njen knjižni prvenec.

De stem van Sulina

Een lyrische roman over de geboorte van een moeder, zwervende zielen en de ziel van het zwerven, geschreven met de stuwende kracht van een wereldrivier. Terwijl een donkere schaduw over de weerkaarten van Midden-Europa glijdt, reist een vrouw in een busje langs de oevers van de Donau, van de bron in het Zwarte Woud tot de monding in de Zwarte Zee. Welke stemmen stijgen op uit de rivier? Archeologische opgravingen en eeuwenoude verhalen, confronterende vragen en dromen, lichamelijke transformaties en vergeten vrouwen geven richting aan de mentale reis van een jonge schrijfster die moeder wordt.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.
