Summary

Predrag Matvejević: Mediterranean Breviary

*The book is signed and dedicated by Predrag Matvejević.

Cult book by Predrag Matvejević after 15 years and 20 editions around the world in a new edition

Each sentence of the 'Mediterranean Breviary'' irresistibly stokes the embers of our curiosity, analogies of experience, knowledge and Croatian knowledge. The strength of the text is that it transports us to an extratextual reality, mythical, historical-real, surreal... Image connects to image, thought to thought, fact to fact. Matvejević opens the windows to the sun.

Jure Kaštelan (in the review for the first edition of the book)

This book is a gem, a curiosity and a puzzle. At times it is playful, often wayward, constantly captivating... It combines philosophy and imagination with encyclopedic knowledge.

Jan Hicks (Sidney Morning Herald, 15 October 1999)

The Mediterranean Breviary is neither a collection of stories nor an almanac of facts. He is somehow more distilled than such works. Matvejević calmly followed Marlowe's ship, disembarking in La Spezia or Buenos Aires to drink prosecco with Calvin or Borges... Who can doubt that this breviary will belong to Borges' posthumous library? essayistically, intimately, I will not deny it, but I will add: yes, but from a rational and meditative distance, and this is exactly the component that makes up its main value... In Matvejević's book, I see an open aphorism... Everything springs from a dark melancholy that lives in the view of the sea, like a sadness that grips us in front of the universe, the sky, the blue.
