Kulturna povijest grada Perasta

Ova je knjiga širok i dubok povijesni prikaz civilizacije Perasta, u Boki Kotorskoj. Pavao Butorac, sasvim poput svog velikog suvremenika Fernanda Braudela, autora glasovite monografije Sredozemlje, razmotava ogromno platno jednoga grada. U njoj ne navodi samo prijelomne povijesne događaje poput bitaka, buna, promjena i smjena vlasti nego i ne-datumsku i nediplomatsku povijest. Butorac daje da govore »obični« podaci: o komunalnim propisima, trgovačkim lađama, pučkim svetkovinama, sigurnosti–nesigurnosti grada, pustolovima i trgovcima, o odjeći, stanju i događajima u župama, porezima, svadbenim pravilima. Ništa manje, priziva i otkriva niz zanimljivih i dramatičnih podataka, događaja i dogodovština. Butorčevo povjesničarsko remek–djelo stoji uz bok klasičnim Braudelovim djelima, a anticipira moderne studije i istra-živanja u duhu glasovite École des Annales. Djelo je napisao dvadesetih i tridesetih godina 20. stoljeća, na standardnom hrvatskom jeziku toga doba, te je doneseno i ovdje. Svakako, ono prelazi uži akademski i stručni interes, nije samo egzemplarni portret jednoga grada već je i autorov spomenik svom zavičaju u mijeni vremena. Ovo izdanje izlazi u Hrvatskoj po želji don Branka Sbutege (1952–2006), glasovitog svećenika, intelektualca i istaknutog čuvara kulturnog nasljeđa Boke Kotorske, budući da je crnogorsko izdanje ovog djela (izdavačka kuća Gospa od Škrpjela, Perast 1999., predgovor Miloš Milošević) dospjela u ruke hrvatskih čitalaca samo u malom broju primjeraka.

Povijest Dubrovnika

Ogranak Matice hrvatske u Dubrovniku objavio vrijedno izdanje Najbolje od talijanske historiografije Ennio Stipčević Tijekom druge polovice 16. stoljeća na visoke crkvene funkcije u Dubrovniku postavila je Sveta Stolica nekoliko učenih Talijana, koji su zadužili kulturni život u Gradu. Djelatnost neformalne akademije koju je u ljetnikovcu na otoku Šipanu sakupio dubrovački nadbiskup Ludovico Beccadelli dobro je poznata još od eseja Torbarininih i Nazorovih iz 30-ih godina prošlog stoljeća, dok su zbog nekog razloga manje poznati tiskani dvosveščani govori dubrovačkoga nadbiskupa Rafaela Bonellija (Venecija, 1587). U toj niski Talijana, zaslužnih crkvenih poslenika, istaknuta je figura bio Serafino Razzi (1531–1611), dominikanac, plodni crkveni pisac, povjesničar i polihistor. Dvije je godine proveo u Dubrovniku: najprije je obnašao dužnost nadstojnika dominikanskog samostana (1587), a potom je bio postavljen za vikara dubrovačke nadbiskupije (1588). Relativno kratka dvogodišnja Razzijeva dubrovačka epizoda, nakon koje se vratio u Italiju, pokazala se iznimno plodonosnom. Ne samo da je u potpunosti ispunio očekivanja nadređenih crkvenih poglavara te je uspio uvesti red i stegu u dominikanski samostan i u crkvenu dubrovačku zajednicu, nego je objavio i prvu tiskanu povijest grada Dubrovnika (Storia di Raugia, Lucca, 1595), a tiskao je također životopis blažene Ozane Kotorske (Vita della Beata Osanna da Cattaro, Firenca, 1592). Važna je i rukopisna kompilacija o povijesti dubrovačke metropolije i dubrovačkih nadbiskupa koju je Stjepan Krasić nedavno objavio u kritičkom izdanju i hrvatskom prijevodu.

Metro 2035

World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits. Radio is mute on all frequencies. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city. It’s there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world’s largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. It’s there that they created a new world for themselves. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space. This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. It’s been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface. And he will.

Everything, Everything

My disease is as rare as it is famous. It’s a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, but basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in fifteen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla. But then one day, a moving truck arrives. New next door neighbors. I look out the window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. I want to learn everything about him, and I do. I learn that he is funny and fierce. I learn that his eyes are Atlantic Ocean-blue and that his vice is stealing silverware. I learn that when I talk to him, my whole world opens up, and I feel myself starting to change—starting to want things. To want out of my bubble. To want everything, everything the world has to offer. Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster.
