Book excerpt: "This is the second work by the now internationally renowned Bosnian journalist Zlatko Dizdarevic dedicated to the atrocities that have been occurring in war-torn Sarajevo since April 1992." "In this new work, the author turns his focus on his sisters and brothers, the women, men, and children of Sarajevo who have, for various reasons, remained in their beloved yet troubled city and watched it fall around them as they attempt to live their lives as normally as possible. The book is composed of vignettes, accounts of the everyday lives of real people living in an unreal situation. Told in their own words, they reveal the courage of a people and the brotherhood that this war has taught them."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Goodbye Sarajevo written by Atka Reid and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May, 1992. Hana is twelve years old when she is put on one of the last UN evacuation buses fleeing the besieged city of Sarajevo. Her twenty-one-year-old sister, Atka, staying behind to look after their five younger siblings, is there to say goodbye. Thinking that they will be apart for only a few weeks, they make a promise to each other to be brave. But as the Bosnian war escalates and months go by without contact, their promise to each other becomes deeply significant. Hana is forced to cope as a refugee in Croatia, far away from home and family, while Atka battles for survival in a city where snipers, mortar attacks and desperate food shortages are a part of everyday life. Their mother, working for a humanitarian aid organisation, is unable to reach them and their father retreats inside himself, shocked at what is happening to his city. In Sarajevo, death lurks in every corner and shakes the foundation of their existence. One day their beloved uncle is killed while queuing up for bread in the market square, in a massacre similar to the one three months earlier which prompted a cellist to make a lone musical protest in the deserted streets. But when Atka finds work as a translator in an old, smoky radio station, and then with a photojournalist from New Zealand, life takes an unexpected turn, and the remarkable events that follow change her life, and those of her family, forever. Set in the middle of the bloodiest European conflict since the Second World War, Goodbye Sarajevo is a moving and compelling true story of courage, hope and extraordinary human kindness.

Download or read book Sarajevo omnibus written by Velibor Čolić and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 2012 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarajevo omnibus propose un portrait de la ville de Sarajevo à travers différents personnages historiques ou lieux emblématiques, qui ont tous un rapport avec la tragédie inaugurale du vingtième siècle : l'assassinat de l'archiduc François-Ferdinand le 28 juin 1914. Ainsi nous rencontrons tour à tour Gavrilo Princip, ce jeune Serbe dont le geste déclencha le cataclysme de la Première Guerre mondiale ; Viktor Artamanov, affairiste russe illuminé, qui finança au nom du tsar l'aventure de la Main Noire, organisation terroriste vouée à la libération de la Serbie du joug austro-hongrois ; le fondateur de la Main Noire, le colonel Dimitrijevic dit Apis, qui bâtissait ses théories grand-serbes en buvant de la slivovice dans un fameux bistrot de Belgrade ; Ivo Andric, immense écrivain, Prix Nobel, qui appartint un temps à cette mouvance... Mais aussi des personnages oubliés, tel le rabbin Abramovicz, philosophe et poète, qui reçut dans la nuque l'une des cinq balles destinées à l'archiduc, le curé Latinovic, fêtard repenti, ou encore l'imam Dizdarevic, seul Bosniaque à avoir peur de sa femme, dit-on. Sans oublier Nikola Barbaric, grand-père de l'auteur, également présent lors de l'attentat, personnage fantasque qui eut quatre épouses et plusieurs vies. Tous ont assisté à la mort de l'archiduc. Le récit de Velibor Colic n'est jamais pesant ni funèbre, mais vif, précis, surprenant, enjoué. Il considère avec une distance désabusée l'enchaînement de circonstances horribles et comiques qui constitue l'histoire des hommes.

Download or read book Reporting the Siege of Sarajevo written by Kenneth Morrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Siege of Sarajevo remains the longest siege in modern European history, lasting three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad and over a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. Reporting the Siege of Sarajevo provides the first detailed account of the reporting of this siege and the role that journalists played in highlighting both military and non-military aspects of it. The book draws on detailed primary and secondary material in English and Bosnian, as well as extensive interviews with international correspondents who covered events in Sarajevo from within siege lines. It also includes hitherto unpublished images taken by the co-author and award-winning photojournalist, Paul Lowe. Together Morrison and Lowe document a relatively short but crucial period in both the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the city of Sarajevo and the profession of journalism. The book provides crucial observations and insights into an under-researched aspect of a critical period in Europe's recent history.

Download or read book Born in Sarajevo written by Snjezana Marinkovic and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “terroir” is used to describe the flavor of the land. Although it is usually used to describe food, it grows in meaning when it is used to understand people and how they are a connected to their home. In 1992, what remained of the once diverse and peaceful Yugoslavia began to dissolve. The war that followed presented a picture that was much different than the normal depiction of good verses bad. The casualties ran deeper than the physical wounds and no one escaped unscathed.This is my story of a search for a new home and the separation from those I love... a story of being uprooted.

Download or read book The Urban Transformation of Sarajevo written by Jordi Martín-Díaz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the signing of the peace agreement and the end of three-and-a-half years of siege, Sarajevo simultaneously experienced a double transition, from war to peace and from socialism to capitalism, that was marked by an increasing international intervention. This book presents a study of the urban transformation of Sarajevo during the post-war period and considers both the role and the impact of the international community in its spatial and ethnic configuration. Part I focuses on the period of maximum international involvement developed at local level, from December 1995 until 2003, and comprises chapters on the ethno-territorial division of the city, the reconstruction of its ethnic diversity and the liberal transition fostered and imposed internationally. Part II deals with the impact of these policies on the current spatial, functional and ethnic configuration in the area of Sarajevo.

Download or read book Portrait of a Man Known as Il Condottiere written by Georges Perec and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The posthumously published first novel from the acclaimed French author of Life: A User’s Manual offers “glimpses of Perec’s future greatness” (The New Yorker). Puckish and playful, Georges Perec infused avant-garde and experimental fiction with a wit and wonder that belied the serious concerns and concepts that underpinned it. A prominent member of the OuLiPo, and an abiding influence on fiction writers today, Perec used formal constraints to dazzling effect in such works as A Void—a murder mystery that contains nary an “e”—and Life: A User’s Manual, in which an apartment building, systematically canvassed, unfolds secrets and, ultimately offers a reflection on creation, destruction, and the devotion to art. Before embarking on these experiments, however, Perec tried his hand at a relatively straightforward novel, Portrait of a Man. His first book, it was rejected by publishers when he submitted it in 1960, after which he filed it away. Decades after Perec’s death, David Bellos discovered the manuscript, and through his translation we have a chance to enjoy it in English for the first time. What fans will find here is a thriller that combines themes that would remain prominent in Perec’s later work, such as art forgery, authenticity, and murder, as well as craftsman Gaspard Winckler, who whose namesakes play major roles in Life: A User’s Manual and W, or The Memory of Childhood. Engaging and entertaining on its own merits, and gaining additional interest when set in the context of Perec’s career, Portrait of a Man is sure to charm the many fans of this postmodern master. “Fascinating.” —The Guardian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livre de photographie / 85 photos N&B / texte FR-EN Le but de ce projet photographique est d'enquêter à travers les différentes couches sociales, afin de proposer un aperçu de la vie en Bosnie-Herzégovine, cent ans après l'attentat de Sarajevo (assassinat de l'archiduc d'Autriche Franz Ferdinand et de sa femme Sophie, le 28 juin 1914), qui fut le prétexte au lancement de la Première Guerre Mondiale et en quelque sorte, le point de départ du vingtième siècle. The aim of this photo project is to investigate through the different social layers to offer an overview of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a hundred years after the assassination of Sarajevo (Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, were shot down on 28, June 1914), which was a pretext for the launch of the First World War and in a way, was the starting point of the 20th century.
