The monograph deals with the issues of expressivity (emotionality) in language. It starts with a theoretical chapter about the development and characteristics of fairy tales, fairy tales of German and Czech provenance are then analysed and compared. The author categorizes language expressivity at different language levels: phonetic, morphologic and word formation, syntactic and lexical, as well as those relating to text-linguistic, pragmatic and stylistic aspects of the utterance. The book also discusses translation problems, i.e. comparison of the original and the translation. The monograph analyses selected fairy tales by brothers Grimm, Clemens von Brentano, Michael Ende, Karel Jaromír Erben, Božena Němcová and Karel Čapek and presents examples of expressivity at several language levels.

The short story collection The Lines Which You Call Rivers contains both short stories and novellas that testify about Amir Alagić's true talent manifesting itself through authentic narratives, strong images, and daring, rich figurative expressions we have already had the chance to experience in his novels The Sacravenges and Hundred Years' Childhood. Alagić is a master narrator, his reality is tangible, odorous and visible, the events multi-layered and refined with symbolism. The twelve stories, that depict different periods and places, the old age and wasted youth, the devil, curse and madness, show us that Amir Alagić is an important name in our literature, and we should read his works. Amir Alagić was born in 1977, in Banja Luka. So far he has published the novels The Sacravenges (2016), Hundred Years' Childhood (2017), and Tunnels (2019), and the short story collections Under the Same Sky (2010), and The Lines Which You Call Rivers.

nsan-dan Başka Öyküler, insan türünün imkânsızlıklarını veya sınırsız imkânlarını, oluşlarını izlemeye, okumaya, düşünmeye bir davet. Bu yolculuğu okuruyla birlikte alan öyküler, yeni bir edebiyat akımının başlangıcını müjdeliyor. Ana menüsünde “insan” ve “ötekileri” yer alan İnsan-dan Başka Öyküler, kat edilecek üç aşamadan oluşuyor: Domestik Evre, Ters Yüz Evre, Rizomatik Evre. “İnsan-dan başka varlıkları nasıl anlatabiliriz? Bu mümkün müdür? Onların da hikayeleri var mıdır? Varsa erişebilir miyiz? Erişirsek bize insan-dan başkalar neler söyle(yebili)rler? Söyleseler de onları anlar mıyız? Anlamak ister miyiz? ”Bu soruların ve bunlara benzer nicelerinin oluşturduğu deryaların kıyılarında gezinen İnsan-dan Başka Öyküler, tam da şimdi ve burada dünyalıların krizlerine kısa soluklarla dalış yapıyor. Melike Kuyumcu, bu dalışlarda, bizleri kah kuşların bireysel öykülerine, kah bir tik ağacının ve bastonun yoldaşlığına, kah bir TABUre sarmalına götürüyor. ”İnsan-dan Başka Öyküler, ister klasik kağıda basılı halinden ister elektronik baskısından okuyun, okurlarını farklı bir deneyime de çağırıyor. Bazı öykülerin içinde bulacağınız siyah-beyaz çizimler, bu öykülerin etkisiyle sizlerin üretebileceği resimlerin, fotoğrafların, illüstrasyonların, sosyal medya paylaşımlarının, daha büyük çaplı eserlerin birer parçası olabilirler. İnsan-dan Başka Öyküler’in medyalar arası geçişlilik sunan bu tasarımı, okurun düşünme duraklarında yazar Melike Kuyumcu ile Twitter/Instagram’dan doğrudan iletişim kurmasını da kucaklıyor. Hepimize afiyet olsun. – Şafak Horzum

“Pilgrimage to a Noble Dream” is a collection of about thirty travelogues from various parts of Europe, created as a result of six years of wandering, hiking, hitchhiking, student exchanges and excursions, or simply travel that was a purpose in itself. There are no great adventures and unexplored landscapes in this book, because the children of post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina could not survive much less than that. Most of the places described in the book are cities, from Granada and Bari, through Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam to Copenhagen, and these cities have been described and presented countless times in popular culture, but because of that they are even more challenging because they provide an opportunity to follow in other people's footsteps and search for ourselves in them. This collection was created as a result of endless hunger for travel, a sense of excitement once we find ourselves on the road, and sometimes disappointment when we realize that this trip was just a pilgrimage to our noble dream.

In the book “Monument”, Berislav Blagojević writes twenty-one short stories in which he expresses a wide range of interests in various aspects of reality, which are considered and shaped into a literary text. Thus, starting from the existence of Don Quixote (and all serious writers, in a way, necessarily refer to Cervantes' novel), the writer creates and introduces us to an imaginary space in which the present constantly confronts the past, where in an undisguised critical tone, and with an ironic manner, points to the anomalies of human existence at the beginning of the third millennium; then there is the postmodernist play with the book, the library, reading and the very act of creation; further, removing layers of historical dust from documents and turning them into fiction; emotional evocation of the past, etc.

The book consists of three cycles, “Express pot”, “Nervus vagus” and “Letters”. Every story, especially those in the cycle “Express pot”, suggest unresolved emotional tensions / relationships / situations that culminate in the kitchen and with food. Blagojević places these primordial, traditional spaces of women's business in and around the kitchen on a new level and transforms them into spaces of culmination or resolution of the inner dramas of her heroines. The stories told in this way reveal a new dimension of sauerkraut, polenta or meat hammers because they cease to be food or tools in the kitchen and become a symbol of rebellion, disapproval, social disintegration, social status. Overall, “Nervus Vagus and Other Stories” is a collection of likable and readable stories that will easily win over readers with a strong emotional charge, interesting influences in everyday life and a constant walk between the tragic and the comic and make them look at seemingly ordinary things from a different perspective.

“Before death – darkness” in 24 short stories illuminates a whole spectrum of human nature and inclinations: it includes silent righteous, noble, invertebrates, thugs, indifferent villains, comrades, people on the last frontier of common sense. In this collection, every reluctant tick, twitch of eyelid or body speaks more about interpersonal relationships than exalted dialogue or surprising twists. And no matter how much they lack great works of Promethean proportions, Zaim, Hasan, Asim, Meho the Butcher, Dr. Crnac still get a space where all the human spirit with a lot of humor comes to life in everyday, almost trivial earthquakes, in which they themselves are so realistically portrayed that someone may say with certainty that their existence and action are not so much imaginary as witnessed. And the ease of language and expression with which it is witnessed - in addition to keeping the reader's attention on the most important, difficult to perceive details - is the greatest value of such stories. Yet the latent melancholy behind that humor cannot and must not be overlooked, a kind of disappointment that hovers over every optimistic, promising start. That is why there is darkness before everyone's grave, whether in the background or not, with which no one manages to maneuver constantly or to hide from. The sensitivity of this collection is in the darkness that is briefly - in certain moments of absurdity and laughter - forgotten.

Zoran Plavšić writes about conductors, caterers, peasants, soldiers, old teachers, Roma, neighbor's children and he treats all of them with equal respect, understanding and empathy. In short, he loves all their flaws and is able to present them to the reader so that he loves them too. Plavšić's stories in a beautiful way continue the tradition of Serbian realistic short stories, they feel the influence of Glišić, Kočić, Ćopić, and even Stanković, but this is not about imitation, but about mutual respect for the “little man” and his destiny. And there is something else in his stories worth mentioning, and that is the belief that it is the usual, everyday and seemingly irrelevant in our everyday life and our immediate environment at the same time and what makes most of our days, what, when the line is drawn, is our life, and that it is precisely what seems irrelevant to us that connects us with people from all meridians. The struggle to make ends meet, aging, transience, unfulfilled expectations, all our personal struggles are at the same time the struggles of millions of other people, and the story of one of us is actually the story of all of us.
