Summary
Željko Malnar, Borna Bebek: In search of the glass city
first edition
Željko Malnar and Borna Bebek, as a kind of Croatian Corto Maltese and his friend Rasputin, travel through Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, India, Afghanistan, Tibet... in search of mystical secrets, parallel worlds, but also for themselves. They descend into the caves of Cappadocia, descend into the underworld of the dead with cannibals in the Solomon Islands, discover the secrets of the last members of the Kailash people and enter the Glass City with Buddhist priests in Tibet.
The journey is dangerous because you have to survive encounters with wild Indian tribes, opium smugglers or proud members of the never-conquered Pathans in the vastness of Pakistan, you have to sail across the Asian Ocean. and climb the Himalayas, but they are not only in search of knowledge, they are also fond of adventure...
Malnar and Bebek's "Glass City" is simultaneously a travelogue, an anthropological discussion, utopia, a comparative-philosophical study, but also a text that can be read in one breath. This kind of work does not happen by chance. (Jure Kaštelan)
