Pripovijetke

Nikolaj Vasiljevič Gogolj

A classic Croatian edition with a selection of the most famous stories by Gogol - a master storyteller who combines humor, the grotesque, fantasy, and deep social satire.

This post-war edition from the library of world literature brings three key cycles:

  • Evenings in a Village near Dikanka – romantic, folklore and demonic stories from the Ukrainian countryside (e.g. The Night Before Ivan Kupala, Viy, The Terrible Revenge) full of vivid humor and mysticism.
  • Mirgorod – a continuation of the Ukrainian cycle with the epic Taras Bulba and other stories.
  • Petrograd Stories – realistic and satirical stories about a little man in a big city: the anthology The Overcoat (The Overcoat), The Nose, Nevsky Prospect, Notes of a Madman – works that influenced Dostoevsky and world literature.

Roman Šovary's translation is appreciated for its fidelity to the original and the fluid Croatian language from the mid-20th century. The book is today a sought-after antiquarian rarity – perfect for collectors of classical Russian literature and fans of Gogol's "laughter through tears".

Priče o braku i seksu

Michal Viewegh

The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
