Edicija: Writings From An Unbound Europe

Francesco Koslovic--even his name straddles two cultures. And during the spring of 1955, in the village of Materada on the Istrian Peninsula, his two worlds are coming apart. Materada, the first volume of Fulvio Tomizza`s celebrated Istrian Trilogy, depicts the Istrian exodus of the hundreds of thousands who had once thrived in a rich ethnic mixture of Italians and Slavs. Complicating Koslovic`s own departure is his attempt to keep the land that he and his brother have worked all their lives.
A picture of a disappearing way of life, a tale of feud and displacement, and imbued with the tastes, tales, and songs of his native Istria, Koslovic`s story is a testament to the intertwined ethnic roots of Balkan history.

Frančesko Koslović - čak i njegovo ime se prostire izmedju dve kulture. A tokom proleća 1955. godine, u selu Materada na istarskom poluostrvu, raspadaju se njegova dva sveta. Materada, prvi tom proslavljene Istarske trilogije Fulvija Tomize, prikazuje istarski egzodus stotina hiljada koji su nekada živeli u bogatoj etničkoj mešavini Italijana i Slovena. Koslovićev sopstveni odlazak komplikuje njegov pokušaj da zadrži zemlju koju su on i njegov brat obrađivali ceo život.
Slika načina života koji nestaje, priča o zavadi i raseljavanju, prožeta ukusima, pričama i pesmama njegove rodne Istre, Koslovićeva priča svedoči o isprepletenim etničkim korenima balkanske istorije.

FULVIO TOMIZZA (1935-1999) dobitnik je brojnih nagrada, uključujući Austrijsku državnu nagradu za evropsku književnost (1979) i prvu međunarodnu nagradu Udruženja slovenačkih pisaca (1986). Materada (1960) je prvi roman Tomizzine Istarske trilogije.
