Zagreb, Exit South
Edo Popovic

Set in new Zagreb, the book tells the tale - at times deeply humourous and other times dark - of Baba and Vera, characters who are disillusioned with life and the hand that they've been dealt. Slobodan Novak, author of History of Croatian Literature, says "Popović is simply the epitome of the 'urban writer…' The best narrator of his generation has achieved literary maturity, and that is great news.”

Batting On The Bosphorus
Angus Bell

The author travels on an unusual cricketing journey through Eastern Europe, uncovering all sorts of unexpected teams, players and unusual experiences along the way. From cricket on ice in Estonia to games on the Croatian island of Vis...and much more inbetween! A highly rated book ("very funny" says BBC Radio London), you don't need to have any knowledge of cricket to enjoy it! Read more about Angus and the book at www.angusjjbell.com.

Coming in July 2008!

Lovers and Madmen: A True Story of Passion, Politics and Air Piracy
Julienne Eden Busic

The book tells the story of how four young Croats and an American woman hijacked a plane in the US in 1976 in order to publicise the Croatian fight for independence and the oppression of Croats within Yugoslavia. It goes on to tell of how Julie Busic became involved in such a cause, ultimately sacrificing her freedom. She is one of Croatia's heroines! A highly recommended book.

Thorn Lace: Mojmir - A Migrant's Lot
Ina Vukic

The Mojmir in the title is in fact Mojmir Damjanovic, a Croatian migrant who left his home country for Australia in 1951. This fascinating non-fiction book tells of his life in 1920s and war-torn World War II Croatia through to his starting a new life in a new country. An Amazon reviewer wrote "The author Ina Vukic has skillfully managed to combine personal memoirs of Mojmir Damjanovic, a Croatian migrant living in Australia, with excerpts from Croatian history into a cohesive and riveting flow, juxtapositioning the psychological impacts of migration upon human souls." And we agree!
