11:13

Marina #5

by Tamara Kučan

Bilo je to mirno veče za Marinu, policijsku profajlerku i njenog partnera Vladimira, inspektora, sve dok telefonski poziv u tri ujutru nije promenio tok njihovih života. Na izlazu iz Beograda pronađena je njihova prijateljica, slavna književnica Strela Blaj – teško ranjena.

Dok Strela vodi borbu između života i smrti, potraga za napadačem pretvara se u opsesiju. Dokazi su pažljivo sakriveni, svaki trag samo je slepa ulica, a svaka istina – laž. Marina i Vladimir shvataju da neke tajne ne pripadaju samo jednom životu – one se prenose kroz generacije, vezane nevidljivim nitima, nalik pupčanoj vrpci satkanoj od potisnutih trauma, laži, krivice i ljubavi.

I dok vreme ističe, jedno pitanje odzvanja:


Ko želi da Strela Blaj zauvek zaćuti?


Dugo očekivan nastavak romana 11:12 i zasebna priča o mržnji, ljubavi i istini, koja, iako duboko zaroni, onog trenutka kad ispliva, sve što dotakne pretvara u sećanja.

About the author

Tamara Kucan is one of the youngest prose writers in Serbia. She started writing at the age of 16. In 2007, at the age of 17, her first novel Beogradjanka (Girl from Belgrade) was published by the publishing company ArsLibri. The first print run of the novel was sold out and the second edition was published by another publishing company, Urban Art. In 2008 another novel Made in Beograd (Made in Belgrade) was published. Belgrade, teenagers, night life, love and sex are some of the issues dealt with in this novel. The novel is a continuation of Tamara’s first novel and it can also be considered as a novel for itself. According to the readers, this is Tamara’s finest novel. The novel has had four print runs.
In 2010, Tamara Kucan becomes the youngest member ever being admitted to the Association of Writers of Serbia . The same year, her third novel Kocka was published. Considerably different than the previous two novels, Kocka is the the most mature novel of all Tamara’s novels. The novel is full of those every day topics and issues we hardly know about or even refuse to know about. Tamara’s recognizable style of writing- short sentences, without superfluous description is what makes this novel a powerful page-turner. Kocka (The Dice) is a novel that deals with the lives of four characters of different sexual orientation, it toys with the question of how much one would risk in order to succeed, it talks about the dreams of the young generations moving to Belgrade, and love without boundaries and judgment.
In 2012, upon readers ‘insistence, Tamara publishes one more novel Zauvek (Forever) , the continuation of the novels Made in Beograd and Beogradjanka. The ending of the Belgrade trilogy and also another story for itself, a compelling tale of two young people deeply in love. At the same year, Tamara published second part of novel Kocka, named Kocka 2 (The Dice 2).
In 2013, Tamara publishes novel Pescani sat (Hourglass), the story about high prostitution and elit in Balkan.

Tamara Kucan’s style of writing is often being compared to Charles Bukowski’s style of writing and her novel mirrors sociological aspects of life in Balkan.

“Ljubav nije ono što tražimo u drugima, ljubav je ono što nosimo u nama samima.” ❤︎

[Sandra Vuković · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sloboda. To je osećaj koji je ova knjiga na mene ostavila nakon poslednje rečenice.
Sveobuhvatna prica o strahu od prolaznosti za koji se ponekad grčevito držimo i ne dopustamo sebi sa sreću istinski osetimo.
Neizvesnost. Primarni strah koji nas nekad uputi ka izvrsnostima koje nam mogu kožu ponovo odrati. Nekad stare rane nas učine slepim nas mrakom koji se iznad nas stvara. Shvatanje da biti sam i usamljne nisu iste stvari. Shvatanje da je ono sto je bitno ono sad, a ne ono što je bilo ili ce biti. Ono sto je sad je stvarnost, a ono što je bilo ili ce biti je mašta ili iluzija. Sadasnjost. Tu lezi nasa istina.
Puna sam utisaka ali ovo su ovi koje trentno osećam. 💖
Za mene delo koje sam gledala očima ali čitala dušom.💗💗💗💘

"... Ja sam čovek sadašnjosti ,i to je odluka. Istinski želim da me demantuješ i da prošlost koju seliš u sadašnjost bude ono što si ti - iz sadašnjosti. A slabost - i to je odluka."

"11:13... I evo ga... 11:14. Život se nastavlja, a novi trenuci dolaze. Vreme više ne stoji. Ljudi odlaze. A život je samo plivanje. Kroz bure. Kroz oluje. Kroz talase. Jedno lepo putovanje i sećanja. Skup trenutaka za koji nikada nemaš vremena."

Vau.
Teška priča, sa poučnom porukom.
Tamara je van serijski pisac sa magičnim perom.

"Tuđa istina o nama ne mora biti naša stvarnost. Dokazati drugima ko si, a sebi da si vredan ljubavi - tako počinju propasti."

posle duze pauze sa citanjem ovo je jedna od onih knjiga koje vas opet vrate citanju
roman je u meni probudio srecu, uzbudjenje, radost zbog likova knjige, ali i tugu neizlecenih rana.
naslov pupcana vrpca nije mogao biti bolji
obozavam ovaj unapredjeni i jos obogaceniji stil pisanja Tamare i nadam se da nije kraj serijalu❤️

"Ne znam da li su neka srca velika da dvaput oproste, ali znam da postoje ljudi čija srca jesu tolika - da u njih svako, čak i onaj kome treba praštati, može da uđe i ostane, sakrivajući se od sopstvenih bura i oluja." 🖤
