Bosnia and Herzgovina is the first country on my journey.


Quiet Flows the Una


Great book about disturbing topic - The war. Author himself was soldier in Bosnian army and the novel is soaked with "ugly and dirty memories". That is what happens when fishermen become fighters.

Hansen's Children

Tragic book by younger Montenegrin author set in Romania at the time of revolution and the fall of Ceausescu. It speaks about deep human isolation and leprosy is just one of the reasons.
Very tough reading!
