Znam zašto ptica u kavezu pjeva

Znam zašto ptica u kavezu pjeva

Maya Angelou

The first of six autobiographical books with a cult status, I know why the bird in the cage sings, is her most impressive book of memoirs and was translated into Croatian for the first time.

A brilliantly written read and document of the times, moving and inspiring in equal measure. Poetic and powerful, at the same time full of joy and pain, full of secrets and memories, a book that will make you laugh and cringe and cry. Equally inspiring for young and adult readers, this is a coming-of-age book, in every sense of the word. One of the pinnacles of world literature, and the indispensable bearer of a female, but also a human voice.
