Miklos Vamos

Twelve men in generational succession represent the main characters of this magnificent family saga that spans the last three hundred years of Hungarian history.

The reader is drawn into an exciting story that follows the fate of unforgettable characters. Some are happy, successful and long-lived, while some live their lives, marry the wrong women and die young. Fathers pass on to their sons the unusual ability to see the past and the future, as well as the book in which their notes are stored (Book of Fathers).

In 1705, little Kornel Csillaga returned with his grandfather and mother from Bavaria to his native Hungary. Wars and misery are raging all over Europe. At the scene of one of the countless battles, they find an egg-shaped pocket watch that forever marks the life of the Csillaga family. Sons are born with the unusual ability to see the past and the future, but without the power to influence it. And their lives are both beautiful and sad, successful and unhappy, long-lasting or just flashy, but all written in the Book of Fathers, which, along with the history of the family, also tells about the history of their homeland.

Dragan Velikić

Perhaps the greatest virtue of Velikić's writing, which culminated in this novel, is his extraordinarily refined feeling for life's details, which he depicts and evokes with an almost shamanic power of materialization.

Elmore Leonard

Poznato je da je Tarantino kao tinejdžer zaluđen pisanjem Elmorea Leonarda ukrao njegov roman »The Switch« iz knjižare, ne bi li ga uhvatili i kaznili... Puno godina kasnije snimio je »Jackie Brown« prema Leonardovom romanu »Rum-punč«

Dragan Velikić

Kao i u prethodnim Velikićevim romanima, junaci pletu analogne i često isprepletene sudbine osujećenih srednjoeuropskih građana i intelektualaca, topografija je vrlo raznolika, ali i prepoznatljiva.

Marko Pogačar

Ovo je rukopis prije svega o sebi, o vlastitoj povezanosti s gradom, ali i o sadašnjosti i prošlosti Berlina, a to onda znači o smrti koja se upisuje u historiju grada koji je više od drugih srastao s imenima svojih mrtvih.

Thomas Pynchon

Roman predstavlja putovanje u jedan alternativni svijet – svijet kojem svi s vremena na vrijeme pripadamo, ali čiji dio ne bismo željeli biti, svijet paranoje i otuđenosti za koji nismo sasvim sigurni je li samo alternativa ili gola istina stvarnosti.

Jackie Collins

Uz ritam rock’n’rolla, Jackie Collins vodi čitatelja iza pozornice svijeta slave i bogatstva, gdje tri glazbene zvijezde — Kruger, Rafaella i Bobby — proživljavaju burne strasti, izdaje i borbu za uspjeh, dok ih ambicija i moć polako razaraju.
