Vesna Kukavica looks at the tenth Night of Books event, including Đuro Vidmarović’s latest tomes Memoari Nede Rosandić (“The Memoires of Neda Rosandić”) and Hrvatski kalendar u Mađarskoj (“The Croatian Calendar Almanac in Hungary”).
In our May issue we wish everyone all the best on Statehood Day and focus on the Cetina River. The issue’s cover art features a detail of the Alka costume exhibited at the Alka museum in Sinj.
The Cetina River is presented through the lens of Marin Knezović’s section on history, Darko Mihelj’s look at the endemic flora and fauna, Nika Jakab’s section featuring the fauna characteristic of the Cetina Krajina region, and other fascinating details of the Cetina River.
In the In Focus section Željko Rupić tells of a number of donations made by Croatians in our diaspora for areas of the Banovina region hit by the recent earthquake.
In our continuing look at Croatian language lectors abroad this month we focus on the experience of Robert Bebek, a writer hailing from the port city of Rijeka. Our look at Croatian language lectors abroad is, in fact, Bebek’s brainchild.
