Pavić ponovo u ovom delu spaja nespojivo. Povezao je svoj život sa slikarstvom i to prikazao kroz ovaj nelinearan roman koji prikazuje kako budućnost ipak može da utiče na našu sadašnjost i kako naša sadašnjost može da utiče na našu budućnost. Šta god da uradimo moramo da uradimo u pravo vreme, ako bude prekasno za nešto što želimo to je najgori mogući ishod i to Su shvata u ovom delu. Ona je jednostavno zalasnila i pojeo ju je univerzum koji je pokušala da promeni. Preporučujem svaku knjigu od Milorada Pavića kao i ovu. Želim vam da uživate u ovoj knjizi i zamišljate onakvu buducnost kakvu je stvarno želite je univerzum radi na principu talasnih dužina ili kako piše po starom zavetu "misli dobro i dobro ti se vraća". Vidimo se u nekoj drugoj stvarnosti dragi čitaoče, do sada sve najbolje želim.

Совсем не типичная для меня книга. Я купила её после поездки в Белград, в поисках книги про историю этого города. Не смотря на то, что и писатель, и стиль новелл, и их содержание для меня оказались совершенно незнакомыми, читались истории легко и оставили какое-то волшебное впечатление, мистическое послевкусие. Или, современным языком - ничего не понятно, но очень интересно😊

Pavic collection of three non-linear novellas. You can pick starts, middles,
ends. Stylistically it is a kind of mid-point between his Balkan
folk/historic shenanigans that I so love and more modern style (as in
Second Body, Paper Theater). I found it much better than those latter
two books. Very nice read - if anything "Story that her dream heard"
is an absolutely gorgeous parable about his ideas about the reader-author
relationship (it's a substory embedded within one of the parallel
threads in the first novella).

I have no feeling how well known Pavic is in the "West" and some of the
east/south European realities might be an obstacle, but I can not
emphasize enough how incredible this author is!


(I have a slovak edition - no CD, no idea what is it about...)

Odličan roman o ljubavi, umjetnosti i prolaznosti.
