Kako vojnik popravlja gramofon
Aleksandar is the most skilled fisherman, the greatest magician and a passionate football player. He knows the first chapter of Marx's Capital by heart, and he enjoys telling stories the most.
When his grandfather, the best storyteller, suddenly has his heart stop while Carl Lewis breaks the world record, everything starts to turn upside down. The whole world of childhood suddenly collapses, and war has invaded the small town on the Drina River, and only names have become important. Aleksandar and his family go to Germany, but in Višegrad, in the shadow of a bridge that silently watches everything, he has to leave Asja, the girl he saved by saying that she was his sister when the soldiers stormed their building. As Aleksandar grows up abroad, he increasingly returns to his childhood, Višegrad and devastated Bosnia, and without sentimentality, but full of emotions, he gives a glimpse into the intimate world of a family, a small town, a country... Saša Stanišić won over readers all over the world with his debut novel, written in German and translated into about twenty languages. How a Soldier Repairs a Gramophone is a brilliant novel soaked in humor and tears, great misfortunes and many small joys that make life magnificent.
