Villa Wintrebert


Banyuls-sur-Mer, French Catalonia: one hot summer in the 1970s, the lives of three generations of women converge in the long tropical garden hidden behind the Villa Wintrebert, named after the biologist who lived there with his wife. As in her debut After Nora (2024), Penelope Curtis deftly weaves fact and fiction in this moving story of childhood and of adult complicity. Harmony beween la belle Eugénie and the young Monique is disrupted when a well-intentioned commission to the renowned local sculptor, Aristide Maillol, shines a light on the fundamental fragility of the women’s relationship, on which the villa and its garden had depended. Decades later, Monique invites Eva and her two little girls into the villa, where traces of the past imprint themselves on the present.

Páni nás sem presídlili


Chcete spoznať Škandináviu z trochu iného uhla? Zabudnite na fjordy či polárnu žiaru, pátrajte po príbehoch ľudí a po jazvách, ktoré v krajine zanechali dejiny. Elin Anna Labba skúma osudy severných Sámov, ktorým do cesty vstúpili nové hranice, a narušili ich prirodzené migračné koridory. Spôsob ich života sa pre moderné štáty stal prežitkom. A keďže nomádi sú podľa definície ľudia, ktorí putujú z miesta na miesto, úrady si mysleli, že ich môžu jednoducho presunúť. Kniha Páni nás sem presídlili je nezvyčajne poetickou reportážou o bolestivých osudoch severnej Európy. V tejto knihe sa dozvieš: – ako žili severní Sámovia pred nútenými presídleniami a ako prijali rozhodnutie, že musia opustiť svoje domovy – ako vyzerali ich každoročné presuny medzi letnými a zimnými pastvinami – prečo mnohí Sámovia o tejto temnej histórii dlhé roky mlčali a až ich potomkovia sarozhodli rozprávať – či sa dá celá stará kultúra jednoducho „presťahovať“ na nové miesto, najmä ak je založená na migrácii a pamäti predkov – ako na Sámov vplývali ich nové pôsobiská, kde sa cítili nechcení a ako to ovplyvnilo ďalšiegenerácie – v čom sú tieto príbehy univerzálne a aktuálne aj dnes Nehodili sa do modernej doby, ktorá prichádzala. Nehodili sa do sveta, ktorý rozdelili nové hranice. Pred viac ako sto rokmi sa Nórsko osamostatnilo a Sámovia, pôvodní obyvatelia ďalekého európskeho severu, ktorí sa po stáročia voľne pohybovali so svojimi sobmi medzi letnými a zimnými pastvinami, sa zrazu stali tŕňom v oku. Boli považovaní za cudzí prvok, prežitok, a navyše – nórski poľnohospodári potrebovali pôdu. Preto v roku 1919 Švédsko a Nórsko uzavreli dohodu o obmedzení migrácie zvierat a ľudí medzi oboma krajinami. Takto vyzerá pozadie jednej z temnejších kapitol moderných severských dejín. S cieľom vykoreniť kočovné zvyky Sámov nariadili švédske úrady v rámci „dislokácie“ premiestnenie chovateľov sobov z ďalekého severu do južnejších oblastí. Bol to brutálny zásah do životov kočovných Sámov. Ak je totiž niekto nomádom, neznamená to, že nemá domov a môže žiť kdekoľvek ho postavíte. Nomád skrátka len putuje medzi svojimi domovmi. Kniha Páni nás sem presídlili zobrazuje dramatické a tragické udalosti späté s presídľovaním Sámov: stratu sobov, ktoré naďalej inštinktívne putovali na sever, odchod sámských detí k príbuzným, rozpad celých rodín i systematickú rasovú diskrimináciu. Elin Anna Labba zozbierala spomienky, fotografie, listy i úryvky z tradičných piesní – jojkov, aby skúsila vyrozprávať hlboký a osobný príbeh ľudí, ktorí prišli o všetko, no napriek tomu neprestali veriť, že raz znovu uvidia svoj domov. Kniha Páni nás sem presídlili vychádza v preklade Adriany Gondárovej.
