        How the bunny fell in love with the library

        by Ivanka Ferenčić Martinčić, Nikolina Dinješ

        Picture book "How bunny fell in love with the library" takes children into the place where their favourite stories live. The main character, a stuffed bunny, gets introduced to the departments of a library and to visitors of all ages who come to it and the various content it offers. With this story, children will get to know the library as a place of learning and socializing that they will be always happy to come to. But perhaps the greatest value of this picture book is in its attempt to stimulate children’s curiosity, reading, the will to travel to diverse and wonderful worlds through which stories develop ideas and imagination, but also bring calm and comfort.This picture book is also our little tribute to all the librarians who work tirelessly to bring the stories closer to children’s hearts and encourage their love of books and reading on a daily basis.

        Balerina, balerina/Ballerina, Ballerina

        by Marko Sosič

        Ballerina is fifteen years old. She lives with her mother, father, and brother in a small village. She loves watching the chestnut tree in their backyard because of the birds sleeping in its branches. She is fond of singing and is happy when her friend Ivan visits. But sometimes she breaks plates and glasses. And every morning she wets the bed. Ballerina is different from her peers.The short novel Ballerina, Ballerina is set in the 1960s, a period of great leaps and advances for humanity. But to Ballerina, who earned her nickname from a tendency to stand on tiptoes when distressed, the relationships between those closest to her, the light of the day and the dark of the night, the changing of seasons and her dreams are far more important than the news that the first person walked on the moon or that the war in Vietnam had begun. Although her view of the world can seem narrow, it may be that, perhaps precisely because of that, it is much more attuned to what really matters in life.Drawing comparison to William Faulkner in its expressionistic depiction of Ballerina’s interior world, this is a classic of contemporary Slovenian literature: a hugely popular exploration of a character whose world is so divorced from what we think of as reality.

        Appartement 102 - Omarska

        Ein Zeitzeugnis

        by Jadranka Cigelj

        Vergewaltigung als Waffe im Krieg! Jadranka Cigelj, bosnische Kroatin, Rechtsanwältin, Politikerin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin, wurde am 14. Juni 1992 zwei Monate im Konzentrationslager Omarska eingekerkert, dem berüchtigten von Serben errichteten Lager im bosnischen Krieg. Der Raum im KZ Omarska, in dem sie mit siebzehn weiteren Frauen gefangen gehalten und gefoltert wurde, war „Appartement 102“. Schonungslos offen schildert sie das tägliche Überleben in einer entmenschlichten Wirklichkeit, in der Folter, Vergewaltigung und das Töten mit Messern und Fäusten zum Alltag gehörten, ausgeführt von Menschen, die sie bis dahin als Nachbarn, Kollegen und Freunde kannte. Ungefähr 3000 Männer, meist bosnische Muslime, wurden in Omarska ermordet, dessen Kommandant, Željko Mejakić, wegen Kriegsverbrechen vor dem Tribunal in Den Haag angeklagt ist. Frau Cigelj war eine von 37 gefangenen Frauen in Omarska, fünf von ihnen wurden getötet. Sie lebt heute in Zagreb und ist Zeugin der Anklage in diesem Prozess. Zeitzeuginnen
