schervenstad

Nadine en haar tweelingbroer Isaac zijn op hun veertiende door het stukgelopen huwelijk van hun ouders ook van elkaar gescheiden. Isaac vertrekt met hun Libanese vader naar diens geboorteland, terwijl Nadine met hun Nederlandse moeder achterblijft in Noord-Limburg. Als de wereld jaren later wordt opgeschrikt door een explosie in de haven van Beiroet, weet Nadine één ding zeker: ze moet erheen.

Rejon 24

Prošlo je već nekoliko godina otkako su Luk i Eli prvi put kročili na tlo Crvene planete. Sadnjom višanja na Marsu, koje zasad jedine uspevaju na ovoj turobnoj planeti, otac i ćerka započinju uzbudljivu potragu za tajnama ukopanim u naslage crvenkaste prašine. Stabla puna tamnocrvenih plodova rastu pod svodovima svih specijalizovanih plastenika, osim u jednom – Rejonu 24. Dok se unutrašnjost njihovih astronautskih odela sve više puni usamljenošću, strahom, nerazumevanjem i tugom, tragični događaji iz prošlosti nastavljaju da ih pritiskaju kao sumorna izmaglica Marsa. Iako često primoravaju sebe da ne razmišljaju o domu koji su privremeno napustili, iskre njihovih priča i sećanja nemoguće je u potpunosti ugasiti – one ih vuku ka bitnim sitnicama i događajima koji su oblikovali njihove živote. Zašto je važno na koji način Eli jede višnje i koje je drvo Luk zasadio kad je bio mali? Da li staro imanje, voćnjak, obližnje jezero, utihnuli seoski vašar i mreža isprepletenih kanala i šumaraka mogu biti skelet i životni sistem jedne porodice? U svom debitantskom romanu Boris Džinić vešto prepliće prošlost i sadašnjost svojih junaka i donosi nam dirljivu priču o snazi uspomena, ljubavi, bolu, patnji i neraskidivim vezama među ljudima. Rejon 24 podseća nas da je i na najmračnijem mestu moguće sačuvati radost življenja i veru da se onome što nas čeka vredi vratiti.

Svatá

Život ovdovělé hospodské Aloisie se obrátí vzhůru nohama ve chvíli, kdy se její dceři Kristě zjeví v lese Panna Maria. Třebaže ji krom Kristy nikdo neviděl, zpráva o zjevení se rychle rozkřikne, do zapomenutého kraje začnou proudit zástupy a zadlužená hospoda konečně prosperuje. Krista je stejnou měrou okolím adorována i nenáviděna. Sama Aloisie neví, na kterou stranu se přiklonit. Je její dcera lhářka, nebo vizionářka? A zjevuje se v lese skutečně Matka Boží, nebo něco mnohem děsivějšího? Příběh o lásce, víře a nekonečné vůli vychází ze skutečných událostí, které se odehrály v devatenáctém století na Broumovsku.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
