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.

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.
