Sad sam se natakarila na ovu kanadsku knjigu...totalno druga liga od Paola Coelha, Boyden mladi kanadski pisac koji je dijelom Metis (mjesavina lokalnih indijanaca i francuza) predivno pise o indijanskoj kulturi u kanadi pocetkom proslog stoljeca....jedna od ljepse napisanih knjiga koje su mi pale shaka u zadnje vrijeme
It is 1919, and Niska, the last Oji-Cree medicine woman to live off the land, has received word that one of the two boys she grudgingly saw off to war has returned. She leaves her home in the bush of Northern Ontario to retrieve him, only to discover that the one she expected is actually the other.
Xavier Bird, her sole living relation, gravely wounded and addicted to the army's morphine, hovers somewhere between the living world and that of the dead. As Niska paddles him the three days home, she realizes that all she can offer in her attempt to keep him alive is her words, the stories of her life.
In turn, Xavier relates the horrifying years of war in Europe: he and his best friend, Elijah Whiskeyjack, prowled the battlefields of France and Belgium as snipers of enormous skill. As their reputations grew, the two young men, with their hand-sewn moccasins and extraordinary marksmanship, became both the pride and fear of their regiment as they stalked the ripe killing fields of Ypres and the Somme.
But what happened to Elijah? As Niska paddles deeper into the wilderness, both she and Xavier confront the devastation that such great conflict leaves in its wake.
Inspired in part by real-life World War I Ojibwa hero Francis Pegahmagabow, Three Day Road reinvents the tradition of such Great War epics as Birdsong and All Quiet on the Western Front. Beautifully written and told with unblinking focus, it is a remarkable tale, one of brutality, survival, and rebirth.
ni primac white teeth, al nije losa... u sustini, maltene ista tema...
mislim da se nijanse bolje prokontaju ako je citalac upoznat sa nebulozama americke akademije

vidim i ja da nije blizu, al’ eto … a ovo drugo … well, that’s the New England for you
Banac at his best
knjiga je zbirka njegovih zapisa sa putovanja po Turskoj, a tekstovi su medjusobno uvezani crvenom niti: isticanjem medjusobne istorijske povezanosti sredozemlja te onoga shto se chesto, iako nepravedno, razluchuje na "istok" i "zapad"...
po svom obichaju, banac je i ovdje nekolike svjetlosne godine ispred mainstream nacionalne hrvatske istoriografije, jer mu nauchni, pa i ljudski integritet ne dopushta da podilazi jeftinom nacionalno-puristichkom sentimentu...
a i napisana je jako chitko, tako da pretpostavljam da ce biti zanimljivo shtivo i nestruchnjaku iole zainteresovanom za istoriju.
uglavnom: preporuchujem :)
Sad trenutno citam,Orhana Pamuka..Snijeg..a ni Istabul nije los....cuo sam da mu je besteler bio.. Zovem se Crvena.....dali je neko citao tu knjigu i kakva je po prirodi..
:)
