Londonske Price Juga
Ove su londonske price ispricane iz ugla jedne doseljenicke majke. One su smijesne, tuzne ali iznad svega iskrene. Izuzetno citljiva, pitka i sarmantna kolekcija prica kojima ce se citatelji svih uzrasta vracati barem jednom godisnje. Obnovljeno izdanje sadrzi najnovije price, kao i cetiri najpopularnije, prevedene na engleski jezik. London stories told from a point of view of an immigrant mother. These stories are fun, sad, but above all - they are honest. This is a highly readable and addictive collection of stories that the readers will come back to at least once a year. Four of Knezevic's most popular stories have been translated into English and added to this edition, at the end of the book.
Milena and Other Social Reforms
Milena thinks she has it all when she lands a job as the President's interpreter. Bright, young, beautiful, willing to take a chance, she is the embodiment of the new Eastern Europe. But a bold new title comes at a cost. As a country suffers the growing pains of greed, Milena is caught up in the machinery of crime, corruption and human trafficking. Will love buy her a way out, or will she, like so many flowers of Montenegro, be lost in the profits of her enemies. 'Olja Knezevic's fiction has tremendous power, perhaps also it is based in truth.' Jagna Pogacnik, Jutarnju List. Olja Knezevic is a native of Montenegro, and a best-selling author now living in London and Zagreb (Croatia) with her husband and two children. 'Milena & Other Social Reforms' is her first novel, a bestseller in Montenegro, Serbia and Croatia, now available in English. Her other books include 'London Stories' and 'Mrs Black' - a novel.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
