[German] - Einraumpalast

"Der neue Job in der Poststelle eines Hamburger Traditionsverlages ist geradezu lächerlich einfach, was perfekt für Matthis ist. Er liebt Bücher, das Leben und gute Metalkonzerte. Solange er pünktlich Feierabend machen und die Arbeit hinter sich lassen kann, ist seine Welt in Ordnung. Allerdings sitzt morgens eine Angestellte in der Teeküche, die seinen Frieden stört. Jedes Gespräch mit Lovis verläuft seltsam und gleichzeitig auf eine interessante Weise herausfordernd. Die Liebe zur Literatur scheint die einzige Gemeinsamkeit zu sein, doch Matthis muss sehr bald feststellen, dass sich hinter ihrer abweisenden Erscheinung eine tragische Geschichte verbirgt. Alle raten ihm davon ab, Lovis' Geheimnis auf den Grund zu gehen und vor allem, sich in die unnahbare Frau zu verlieben. Was undenkbar scheint, nimmt langsam seinen Lauf … 'Einraumpalast' ist eine Geschichte über Bücher, das Leben und die Liebe. Erschreckend ehrlich und mit viel Gefühl. (Astis Hexenwerk)"

[Croatian] - Jedna žena

"Kratki roman Annie Ernaux Jedna žena autorica je posvetila ženi čiji je život formirao i njezin: svojoj netom preminuloj majci. Konzervativizam, tradicija, rodni i klasni identitet samo su neka od pitanja kroz koja Ernaux, odvagujući osjećaje te izbjegavajući klišeje, pruža gotovo dokumentaristički uvid u žensku egzistenciju - od djevojaštva, preko majčinstva pa sve do starosti zasjenjene demencijom i neminovnom smrti. Ernaux u Jednoj ženi čitatelju kroz svoje memoare ostavlja sjećanja na sudbinu njezine majke, od tvorničke radnice u kojoj je prisiljena raditi od adolescencije, do staračkih domova i bolnica, i to u doba kada se francusko društvo nalazi na pragu tranzicije u jedno otvorenije, u kojem obrazovanje postaje ulaznicom u povlašteni svijet srednje klase. Porijeklom iz ruralne, predrasudama bremenite Normandije, ona svim silama nastoji izbjeći konzervativno rodno nasljeđe te osigurati dostojanstveniji život za svoju kćer. Trnovit je to put na kojem su međugeneracijski konflikti neizbježni, put između budućeg, dostojanstvenijeg života i sadašnjosti koju pokušavamo napustiti, katkad ni ne znajući što ćemo ondje zapravo ostaviti. Nobelova nagrada 2022. godine Annie Ernaux istaknula je kao jednu od najčitanijih suvremenih francuskih književnica. Rođena 1940. u radničkoj obitelji, svoje pisanje ukorjenjuje u osobnim iskustvima i sjećanjima, nastojeći uhvatiti i dočarati suštinu običnih života. 'Annie Ernaux je srušila sve tabue o tome što žene smiju, a što ne smiju pisati.' - The New York Times 'Drugim riječima, to je ljubavna priča, gorko-slatka kao i sve najbolje. Koliko o svakoj ženi, toliko i o jednoj posebnoj, francuska autorica Ernaux u svom autobiografskom romanu lakonski opisuje surove stvarnosti starosti za ženu koja je nekada bila živahna i - neovisna.' - Kirkus Reviews Audio knjiga je objavljena uz financijsku potporu Ureda za kulturu Grada Zagreba."

"इस ऑडियोबुक को डिजिटल वॉइस में रिकॉर्ड किया गया है. 'पंचफोरन की सुगंध' - नाम से हीं आभास हो जाता है कि यह एक हाउस वाइफ की लिखी रचनाएं हैं जो दाल -सब्जी में छौंक लगाते, घर के काम निबटाने, खिड़की से आस पड़ोस में झांकते, घर आये लोगों की बातों से, ज़िन्दगी को समझने के दौरान अंखुआई और फिर अनुकूल समय पा कर पुष्पित पल्लवित हो गई। जैसी साधारण सी गृहणी, वैसी हीं सरल, पर जीवन से भरी कहानियां, जो मेरी आपकी किसी की हो सकती है। इस उम्र में लिखने की लगन और जिद ने हीं अनुभवों को कहानी के रूप में ढालने को मजबूर किया। थोड़ा भय होता है पाठक के पसन्द नापसन्द का पर अपनी उम्मीद और मेहनत पर यकीन कर आगे कदम बढा ली हूं। आप हाथ बढ़ा दें।"

Following the night of her blood-stained body in the dark sky, Pooja, the resident of the Mumbai city finds herself entangled between the shades of life and death. She finds herself frozen cold and dead to demand altruism for any human being present in her life, except her ally. Her heart begins wandering in the jungles of justice for her sufferings, but all she holds onto is a release, away from the human's shelter in her life. She leaves her family and begins her journey in the cold gothic culture somewhere close by, from the scene of her traumatic fall from rise. She seeks herself away from the judiciary of death, from the trap of emotions for years, living alone in the vengeance of that brutal night… Until, one day, her ally, her emotional saviour meets the end of her three-year-long, loveless life. Not with death, not with suffering but with an unfortunate new chance. Love. The chance of love, which placed death in their hearts following the night of a December bonfire. What really happened that night? Who was Pooja, the sixth sense of Mumbai's uncensored protests? Who was her ally, whom people commotion as her suffering? And of all, what was the unfortunate chance, who was the unfortunate chance, hiding in these clouds? A suspense tale worth describing the cents of gothic cravings, motifs, romanticized past living, and women in distress! 'Notion to the unapologetic ravish who seeks rape culture over human culture… this book will be savoured by the readers of dark fiction.'"
