Titove naočale: Povijest moje naporne obitelji

Adriana Altaras

With a sharp sense of humor and great warmth, German actress and director Adriana Altaras, born in Zagreb, intertwines events from her chaotic artistic life in Berlin with the unusual history of her family in her autobiography Tito's Glasses.

The author tells the story of her father, a respected doctor, who always wanted to be a hero, but who also had several mistresses at the same time, and of her lonely mother, an architect, full of strength.

Adriana Altaras lives with her two sons and a husband who patiently puts up with her Jewish neuroses, waiting for her to return home after numerous drama and opera directing or film shootings all over the world. So everything is fine – but when her parents die, and she inherits an apartment that no one has carefully renovated for forty years, she will try to make her way through an unusual inheritance, both intimate and physical, that the Croatian state has refused to return to her for years.

Touching letters and old photographs will revive not only turbulent family events, but even the dead will begin to tell their own stories… The author tells the story of a Zagreb family that was submerged by the waves of history, washed up on deserted shores and landed all over the world. Politics, religion, history and love played chess with people who ended up in gas chambers, wandered the world wondering who they were and where their home was, but also wrote interesting books, made great contributions to medicine and art...

From Zagreb and Split, through Giessen and Berlin to New York and Miami, an unforgettable family story flows that leaves traces throughout Europe and the turbulent 20th century.
