Skylark by Dezso Kosztolanyi EN
SerbiaDescription:
It is 1900, give or take a few years. The Vajkays—call them Mother and Father—live in Sárszeg, a dead-end burg in the provincial heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Father retired some years ago to devote his days to genealogical research and quaint questions of heraldry. Mother keeps house. Both are utterly enthralled with their daughter, Skylark. Unintelligent, unimaginative, unattractive, and unmarried, Skylark cooks and sews for her parents and anchors the unremitting tedium of their lives. Now Skylark is going away, for one week only, it’s true, but a week that yawns endlessly for her p... continue

Smrtni ishod atletskih povreda by Milica Vučković EN
Description:
"Smrtni ishod atletskih povreda - roman apsolutne iskrenosti. Eva je snažna, nezavisna žena. Eva je žena koja voli. Eva je žena koja počinje da sumnja u sebe. Eva je žena koja razume i nalazi opravdanja. Eva je žena koja ćuti i krije modrice. A drugi ništa ne primećuju ili okreću glavu. Smrtni ishod atletskih povreda je snažna, iskrena, poetična, ali nikako i patetična knjiga koja rasvetljava kompleksne sisteme manipulacije i njihovu suptilnost. Milica Vučković svoju junakinju potpuno degradira i ogoljava patrijarhalne obrasce u kojima su žene naučene da trpe i veruju da to što im se događa ni... continue
