Velika epohina enciklopedija aforizama

A comprehensive work in which aphorisms were compiled by Vladimir Brodnjak, Zvane Črnja, Davor Kapetanić, Gustav Krklec, Ton Smerdel and Tomislav Sabljak. Although later editions expanded the collection, this first edition remains a cult classic of Croati

With more than 8,752 aphorisms on 1,025 pages, this encyclopedia encompasses wisdom, proverbs, and witty thoughts from world authors from antiquity to modern times. The aphorisms are organized thematically, covering topics such as love, marriage, politics, morality, misery, and character, often with original text and translation. The addition of phrasebooks enriches the collection with phraseological expressions.

The book is known for its diversity, including quotes from greats such as Goethe ("A collection of anecdotes and maxims is the greatest treasure of a worldly man"), Tolstoy, Napoleon, and Croatian authors such as Grgur Vitez. The work emphasizes the universality of human experience through humor, satire, and philosophical depth. The hardcover with gold printing and the high quality of the print make it a bibliophile's copy. It is intended for readers who appreciate concise wisdom and want to use it in conversation or reflection.
