Rijeka revisited

Monografija o Rijeci na engleskom jeziku

A precise and skilfully written cultural treatise, a cultural and historical essay on Rijeka and its surrounding areas.

The literary critic and journalist Velid Đekić reveals the reasons why Rijeka has for a long time been Croatia’s Mediterranean and Central European centre, but also reoccurring concepts which bear witness to her current regional status. Apart form the essay’s part which meticulously articulates previous and current cultural, political, economical and spiritual points, in its ‘more literary’ part, sof-tened in rendition and lucidly improvising, the author introduces us to the bizarre, as well as trivial details which complete a really rare tale of the city.
