Summary

Stjepo Martinović: Noon in Perast7

Ten years after parting and twenty after their first meeting, on a night of high tide in the Venetian lagoon, Alessia and Jerolim - traveling down the Adriatic from Istria to Boka - discover feelings that surprise them both. Alessia is an Italian doctor, Jerolim a Croatian writer, they talk trilingually - at first in English, then Alessia in her native Venetian, Jerolim more and more often with emotional forays into the Dubrovnik dialect. Strengthened by each other, overwhelmed by feelings and passion, they travel to Perast in Montenegro, where Jerolim will find out the tragic circumstances of his mother's death, and Alessia will face a trace of the former Venetian power: the last flag of the Republic of Saint Mark, which was carried in the traditional ceremony of the Fasinada - two months after Napoleon's numbing of the Venetian state. In most of his novels, Stjepo Martinović deals with recorded and remembered history, the temperaments of the people of the Mediterranean coasts and islands, the atmosphere and warmth of the eternal Mediterranean. In this novel, as a peculiar bard of the south, he demystifies the wealth of information that is transmitted through folklore. Balancing between literature and genre literature with the skill that this writer demonstrates is rarely found even in much more famous and productive foreign literature, as evidenced by the affection of fans of his style and (to some extent) the prizes he wins in literary competitions. In his new novel, Stjepo Martinović once again impresses the Internet generation with the wealth of language, he describes the Croatian coast and cities with admiration, often placing female characters in the center of attention.
