The Walnut Mansion by Miljenko Jergović( )

41 editions published between 2003 and 2018 in 8 languages and held by 842 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This grand novel encompasses nearly all of Yugoslavia's tumultuous twentieth century, from the decline of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires through two world wars, the rise and fall of communism, the breakup of the nation, and the terror of the shelling of Dubrovnik. Tackling universal themes on a human scale, master storyteller Miljenko Jergovic traces one Yugoslavian family's tale as history irresistibly casts the fates of five generations. What is it to live a life whose circumstances are driven by history? Jergovic investigates the experiences of a compelling heroine, Regina Delavale, and her many family members and neighbors. Telling Regina's story in reverse chronology, the author proceeds from her final days in 2002 to her birth in 1905, encountering along the way such traumas as atrocities committed by Nazi Ustashe Croats and the death of Tito. Lyrically written and unhesitatingly told, The Walnut Mansion may be read as an allegory of the tragedy of Yugoslavia's tormented twentieth century.--Provided by publisher

Sarajevo Marlboro by Miljenko Jergović( Book )

57 editions published between 1994 and 2018 in 13 languages and held by 453 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Sarajevo Marlboro" is Miljenko Jergovics remarkable dOZbut collection of stories. A dazzling storyteller, this native of Sarajevo brings a profoundly human, razor-sharp understanding of the fate of the citys young Muslims, Croats and Serbs with a subterranean humor and profoundly personal vision. Their offbeat lives and daily dramas in the foreground (straying into the likes and dislikes of a cactus, the history of locally blended cigarettes...), the killing zone in the background

Mama Leone by Miljenko Jergović( Book )

42 editions published between 1999 and 2018 in 9 languages and held by 260 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"A masterful novel that draws the reader into a boy's episodic, profoundly personal recounting of his war-torn homeland and childhood. Dazzling, rhapsodic, and above all humane, these linked stories, deeply rooted in place and history, break down stereotypes and humanize a complex cultural conflict"--

Volga, Volga : novela by Miljenko Jergović( Book )

17 editions published between 2009 and 2015 in 6 languages and held by 150 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Nach BUICK RIVERA und FREELANDER schickt der grosse Erzähler Miljenko Jergovi? in seinem neuen Roman WOLGA, WOLGA wieder einen einsamen Helden auf die Reise. So entsteht eine Geschichte, die das Schicksal eines Mannes in zahlreichen Rückblenden mit der politisch-historischen Vergangenheit des ehemaligen Jugoslawien verbindet. Während des Kommunismus der siebziger Jahre sucht der vom Leben gestrafte D?elal Pljevljak im islamischen Glauben Trost und fährt regelmässig mit seinem schwarzen Wolga von Split an der dalmatischen Küste nach Livno ins benachbarte Bosnien-Herzegowina, um in der Moschee zu beten. Durch die Begegnung mit einer ebenfalls muslimischen Familie beginnt seine Einsamkeit in einem Land voller Bespitzelung und Verrat gerade zu schwinden, da nimmt die Geschichte auf einer dieser Fahrten plötzlich eine tragische Wendung. Durch die raffinierte Verschachtelung der Geschichte und das geschickte Spiel mit Erzählperspektiven gelingt es Jergovi? immer wieder aufs Neue, ungeahnte menschliche Abgründe auszuloten und für Überraschungen zu sorgen. Miljenko Jergovi?, geboren 1966 in Sarajevo, studierte Philosophie und Soziologie an der dortigen Universität. Er ist Mitbegründer der GROUP 99. Jergovi? berichtete u.a. für die Zagreber Wochenzeitung Nedeljna Dalmacija aus dem belagerten Sarajevo und war dort auch Redakteur beim Fernsehen. Seit 1993 lebt er als freier Schriftsteller in Zagreb und ist als politischer Kolumnist für verschiedene kroatische und internationale Zeitungen (in Deutschland für DIE ZEIT und die FAZ) tätig. Für seine Arbeit als Journalist und politischer Kolumnist wurde er mehrfach ausgezeichnet. www.jergovic.com/ajfelov-most

Die unerhörte Geschichte meiner Familie by Miljenko Jergović( Book )

24 editions published between 2013 and 2019 in Croatian and German and held by 96 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

>Weil in jeder Familiengeschichte alles Wichtige der Weltgeschichte steckt<<, hat Miljenko Jergović sich auf die Spuren seiner Familie begeben. Als seine Mutter, zu der er kein einfaches Verhältnis hat, im Sterben liegt, reist er nach Sarajevo und bringt sie zum Erzählen über die Vorfahren. Dort, wo jede Straße ihn in die Vergangenheit seiner traumatisierten Heimat führt, setzt er sich in einem schmerzlichen Prozess mit ihrem Erbe auseinander: Kinder des einstigen Habsburgerreichs, waren sie als Eisenbahner Zugereiste, und jeder Krieg stellte ihre Identitäten und Loyalitäten neu auf die Probe. Das Gefühl von Fremdheit ist dem großen europäischen Erzähler Miljenko Jergović geblieben, auch wenn er sich an den Konflikten der Gegenwart auf seine Weise reibt. Fakten mit Fiktion vermischend und in konzentrischen Kreisen erzählend, zeigt er in diesem großen Weltentwurf, was das Leben in einem Vielvölkerstaat für den Einzelnen bedeutet, vor allem wenn er nicht zur Mehrheit gehört, sondern zu den>>Anderen<<.
