The Woman from Sarajevo

The Woman from Sarajevo
"In 1935 Raika Radakovich died in Belgrade on Stishka Street, No. 16 A, of natural causes. Case dismissed- by the police, but not by the Nobel-prize winning Yugoslavian who reconstructs her life into this novel. A miserly old maid with one obsession, to make a million, Miss Radakovich starts out to avenge her ruined father''s death by living in the "world of money." She husbanded capital happily in Sarajevo from 1906 until 1919, when money was suddenly declared extinct and she was accused of war-profiteering. With bloodless single-mindedness, she began again in Belgrade only to die alone without achieving her dream.... A poetic story of a life without poetry, again Andric has managed to invest a simple narrative with the morality and some of the quality of the folk tale. The climate of Yugoslavia in one of its most historic moments is, in itself, almost enough. Andric never judges; his story does it for him. Although not as unusual as some of his other books which have appeared here (Bosnian Chronicle, etc.), the novel will be welcomed by those who know his work, admire his artistry in his contemporary, native idiom."--Kirkus

Where the heart is

Where the heart is
My first book in english, made almost completely out of acrostic poem type. Be taken into a world of feelings and emotions and let any of the poems be own personal hymn of yours. Made with love and care just for You because You are important more than you may thunk Have you seen Amadeus? Where Salieri tells the priest that drafts of Mozart composition were written as like he was taking dictations? I write the same, this whole piece was done in one hour maximum. I know I know, just like Mozart and Johnny Knoxville I can''t deny my talent :) Thank you from all my heart
