Produktinformationen zu „How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone “
As a young boy in 1990s Visegrad, Yugoslavia, Aleksandar observes life through the lens of his grandfather Salvko's fantasies. But when his grandfather dies suddenly and soldiers invade their peaceful town on the Drina, Aleks is torn from his dreams and forced to flee to Germany with his family, leaving the girl he loves behind. For centuries the Muslim majority of Visegrad lived peacefully beside their Serbian neighbors. But when the Bosnian Serbs attack their compatriots, hundreds of civilians are slaughtered along the banks of the same river Drina that once represented the source of life in Visegrad. Soon, however, horrifying tales from Visegrad begin to reach him in exile, forever changing how he envisions his home. With How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone, SaÜa StaniÜi? has written an illuminating burlesque tragi-comedy about the collapse of a nation and the power of storytelling in repairing a broken life.
