Summary
Dubravko Detoni: Atlas of Life II
The second book of the Atlas of Life, the diary entries of Dubravko Detoni, one of the best contemporary Croatian composers and most interesting poets, covers a full seven years of the artist's life, from February 1995 to January 2002. Lucid, deeply philosophically thoughtful, poetically surprising, entertaining, stimulating and precise Detoni's notes create a picture time as felt by the artist. In Atlas of Life, Dubravko Detoni realizes the Renaissance ideal of an artist as a gardener who cares for a plant every day, which eventually bears magnificent fruits.
The Atlas of Life is a unique and rare project in Croatian literature, a book that flows without stopping like a mythical river, that meanders through language and always finds its way to the heart of artistic inspiration.
