Publisher: Penguin Classics

Series: Little Clothbound Classics

Language: English

Description:
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

Thirteen ingeniously crafted stories make up Vladimir Nabokov's baker's dozen. In some of these stories shadowy people pass through, cooped up by life, with nowhere to escape. In others, elusive glimpses of fleeting happiness, which flutter away before they can be snatched, waylay their victims. Like the shimmer of the sea, the gleam of a glass caught by the sun, these stories sparkle brilliantly only to dissolve again.

Please add Serbian edition of Die Enkelin by Bernhard Schlink

* Title: Unuka
* Author(s) name(s): Bernhard Šlink
* ISBN (or ASIN): 9788644707820
* Publisher: Plato
* Publication date: 2022
* Format: Paperback
* Description: U najnovijem romanu Bernharda Šlinka Unuka prisutna je ona kombinacija ljubavne priče, svojevrsnog detektivskog romana i društveno angažovane proze koja već dve decenije autora Čitača održava u krugu najčitanijih nemačkih pisaca današnjice.
Roman Unuka započinje ljubavlju Kaspara i Birgit čije dramatične staze određuje tenzija između Savezne Republike Nemačke i Nemačke Demokratske Republike. U nastavku romana napetost proizlazi koliko iz neizvesnog ishoda traganja za Birgitinom ćerkom toliko i iz sudara načina života i sistema vrednosti zapadnonemačkog društva i dogmi novije ekstremne desnice, posebno one proistekle iz trauma ponetih iz domova za mlade Istočne Nemačke.
,,I ovom knjigom Šlink potvrđuje svoje umeće vrsnog pripovedača kadrog da i na dugim stazama održava nesmanjenu čitalačku pažnju kao i pisca hroničara, zainteresovanog za neuralgične tačke nemačkog društva u čije istraživanje uključuje iskustva pravnika i sudije. Šlinkova popularnost u svetu i ugled koji uživa delom svedoče i o tome da te neuralgične tačke nisu obrađene samo kao proizvod nemačkog tla već se u njima traži i nalazi ono što je univerzalno.“
