Faruk Šehić and 6 other people liked Desislava Filipova's review of Книга за Уна: ""Книга за Уна" Фарук Шекич е хаотичен сбор от фрагменти, моменти от детството, моменти от войната, усещания на границата между сън и реалност, но толкова красиво поднесен, малко носталгия, малко тъга и някаква изгубеност. Заглавието не може да е по-т" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Faruk Šehić (?)

“Пролетта е религия, по-стара от Месопотамия.”
― Faruk Šehić, Knjiga o Uni

“Значи къпането е просто друга дума за възкресение и нов живот. О, колко окайвахме в такива моменти градовете и местата, които чудотворната вода не миеше с вълните си, защото всяка вода е свята и вълшебна, дори и тясното поточе, което си проправя път през храсталаците на някоя забутана ливада. Нашите реки ни издигаха в собствените ни очи, чувствахме се богоизбрани и специално спрямо горките градове без води, но и спрямо жителите им, къпещи се в мътни и мръсни водоеми, чието дъно не се виждаше както на нашето речно огледало, в което се гмуркахме отново всеки ден. Трудно е да опровергаеш факта, че животът не е възникнал във водата. Близостта с жизнените сили на природата, които усещам, когато скоча в реката, не може да се сравни с другите дарове на земята. Това проникване във водата, когато се сливаш в едно тяло с нея. За него копнеят любовниците от всички времена.”
― Faruk Šehić, Knjiga o Uni

“Във водата човешкото тяло почти никога не може да има същия войнствен заряд като на сушата. Макар че мускулите проблясват, оросени от водни капчици, тук култът към тялото има само една-едничка цел: да се противопоставяш на реката, като плуваш срещу разпенените прагове, за да почувстваш красотата на водната стихия, която за миг ще стане част и от твоите мишци.”
― Faruk Šehić, Knjiga o Uni
