Knjižničari Gradske knjižnice Novigrad pripremili su top-liste najčitanijih knjiga u 2021. godini u tri kategorije: knjige za odrasle na hrvatskom jezikom, knjige za odrasle na talijanskom jezikom i knjige za djecu i mlade. Iz tih lista vidljivo je da se čita svega po malo, od laganog štiva do zahtjevnijih tema.

Columbia Magazine / January 16, 2022

In 1978, Gregory Rabassa ’54GSAS, famed translator of Gabriel García Márquez ’71HON, Julio Cortázar, and Mario Vargas Llosa, was asked about a review in the Washington Post of a novel by the Guatemalan writer and Nobel Prize winner Miguel Ángel Asturias. Rabassa had translated the book from Spanish into English, and though the reviewer praised the richness of Asturias’s language, he never once mentioned Rabassa. It was as if the reader had absorbed the author’s words directly, without any mediator. Rabassa, who taught Spanish and Portuguese at Columbia from 1948 to 1969, wryly wondered aloud whether the reviewer even knew the book had been translated. “This would seem to be an additional argument,” Rabassa quipped, “for the placing of the translator’s name on the dust jacket of the book.”

Nerdist / January 12, 2022

A new year means many things. But the one that we always get most excited about is new books, and 2022 is no different!

From highly anticipated prequels and sequels to stunning debuts, there’s fantasy, sci-fi, and even some literary fiction that we cannot wait to read. So without further ado, let’s dig into Nerdist‘s most anticipated books of (the first half of) 2022!

韓国文学がべらぼうに面白い。そう実感する機会が最近増えた。きっかけはチョ・ナムジュの『82年生まれ、キム・ジヨン』（筑摩書房）が日本でも23万部を超えるヒットとなり、映画化もされたこと。それに続いて、ピョン・ヘヨン、イ・ギホ、キム・グミなどが傑出した作品を上梓。特に、貧困にあえぐ経済的弱者が登場する、社会問題を扱った小説に注目が集まった。

Ongemakkelijk schouder aan schouder Het valt nog niet mee om gay te zijn in Zuid-Korea. Er zijn natuurlijk veel ergere plekken op de wereld om gay te zijn (Noord-Korea bijvoorbeeld), maar er hangt nog wel een schaamtecultuur om openlijk homoseksuele relaties. In de steden is, zoals overal, de vrijheid groter dan elders. In Liefde in de grote stad van Sang Young Park zie je die schaamte het meest terugkomen in het hoofdstuk ‘Het universum in een stukje roodbaars’ waarin Young een relatie krijgt met een oudere jongen die hij op de universiteit ontmoet. De relatie blijft van het begin tot het einde ongemakkelijk. De politiek geëngageerde vriend lijkt zich in bijzijn van andere vooral te generen voor zijn vriendschap met Young. Dat blijkt ook als Young een keer een foto van een vriendengroep moet maken en als wederdienst de vraag krijgt of zij ook op de foto willen.

ŠTO SE NAJVIŠE ČITALO U 2021. GODINI? Najčitaniji beletristički naslov među stranim autorima bila je knjiga "Moja Aljaska" Kristin Hannah koji nam donosi dirljivu obiteljsku priču. I preostali naslovi s vrha ljestvice labinske knjižnice mahom su obiteljski i ljubavni romani. Iako nisu među prvih pet najčitanijih knjiga, trileri i kriminalistički romani i dalje su vrlo traženi i rado čitani, a među njima osobito „DNK“ islandske spisateljice Yrse Sigurdardottir.

Her yerde 2021’in en’leri ve derleme olayları yazılmaya devam ederken ben de 2021’in son İzlekler’ini bir derlemeye ayırdım. Ancak bu derleme sadece 2021’de yayımlanmış kitaplara ayrılmış bir derleme değil. Daha çok benim 2021’de okuduklarım ve bu sayfada daha önce bahsetmediklerim, biraz gizli saklı kalmış kitapları da içeren bir derleme…
