Summary

Predrag Matvejević: Our Bread

"Our Bread" daily and eternal, secular and holy, is the subject of this book. It was already announced in the author's "Mediterranean Breviary", translated into more than twenty languages, and "The Second Venice", in which an entire chapter is dedicated to "Venetian bread" (that book won the European "Strega" award in Rome). Past and history, myth and faith, personality and sociality are marked by bread, its presence or lack thereof. Different approaches confront us in this book with anthropological ("bread and body"), theological ("bread and faith"), social ("bread and hunger"), philological ("seed and origin"), fine art ("image and apparition"). The author's long-term research and preoccupation with bread, connected with sailings in the Mediterranean and travels around the world, with personal experiences and an extensive bibliography, required the appropriate form of essays and travelogues, as manifested in some of Matvejević's previous works. From the history of bread, there is a narrative, seven interrelated chapters, which form a homogeneous whole. In our country, there are very few similar books, works that comprehensively deal with their subject, and counterparts can only be rare examples such as Nikola Visković with his book about trees or Viktor Žmegač with his book about German culture from Bach to the Bauhaus. Matvejević worked on his book about bread for several decades. Books such as Matvejević's ennoble the national culture and forever remain as capital cultural works.
