autor

Problém menom Bruno


Debutová zbierka poviedok americko-bosnianskeho autora Aleksandara Hemona nie je žiadnym začiatočníckym pokusom, ale štylisticky brilantným, vtipným a tragikomickým obrazom sveta. Sveta bývalej Juhoslávie a detstva stráveného s portrétmi súdruha Tita na stenách škôl a hračkami zo ZSSR páchnucimi olejom. Príbehy o Sarajeve a autorovej rodinnej histórii, o živote v Chicagu v čase, keď všetci priatelia a známi bojovali v ďalšej zo zbytočných európskych vojen. PROBLÉM MENOM BRUNO je novelou a poviedkami, ktoré sú poprepájané postavami, mestami, príbehmi, ale najmä silným a citlivým hlasom rozprávača.Či už Hemon píše o atentáte na arcivojvodu Františka Ferdinanda alebo rodinnom výlete na pláž, o prisťahovalcovi v USA alebo umení uniknúť hľadáčiku ostreľovača v obliehanom meste, jeho príbehy sú bolestne humorné a nesmierne smutné.Vďaka originalite a humoru je Aleksandar Hemon jedným z najtalentovanejších autorov svojej generácie.

The World and All That It Holds


The World and All That It Holds is the epic, cross-continental tale of a love so strong it conquers the Great War, revolution, and even death itself. As the Archduke Franz Ferdinand arrives in Sarajevo one June day in 1914, Rafael Pinto is busy crushing herbs and grinding tablets behind the counter at the pharmacy he inherited from his father. It’s not quite the life he had expected during his poetry-filled student days in libertine Vienna, but it’s nothing a dash of laudanum, a summer stroll and idle fantasies can’t put in perspective. And then the world explodes. In the trenches in Galicia, fantasies fall flat. Heroism gets a man killed quickly. War devours all that they have known, and the only thing Pinto has to live for are the attentions of Osman, a fellow soldier, a man of action to complement Pinto’s introspective, poetic soul; a charismatic storyteller and Pinto’s protector and lover. Together, Pinto and Osman will escape the trenches and find themselves entangled with spies and Bolsheviks. As they travel over mountains and across deserts, from one world to another, all the way to Shanghai, it is Pinto’s love for Osman that will truly survive.
