finished reading Bonapartizem by Tomaž Mastnak (Oranžna zbirka)

Tomaž Mastnak: Bonapartizem (Paperback, Slovenian language, Založba /*cf.) 4 stars

Bonapartizem je pojem, ki ga politološka znanost vse pogosteje uporablja za označevanje političnega dogajanja v …

Trumpizem, jansizem ... bonapartizem so drugi obrazi liberalizma, naslavljajo probleme, ki jih liberalizem ne more nasloviti, hkrati pa liberalna vladajoca elita hoce oziroma ohrani svoje socialne privilegije.

finished reading Leto ubežnikov by Sunjeev Sahota (Eho, #23)

Sunjeev Sahota, Petra Meterc: Leto ubežnikov (Paperback, Slovenian language, 2020, KUD Police Dubove) No rating

Sunjeev Sahota se v romaneskni sagi Leto ubežnikov loteva aktualne tematike preseljevanja s trebuhom za …

The book was very hard/brutal at times and I had to put it down for a bit. It is hard to imagine what migrants go through in search for better opportunities.

Matteo Pasquinelli: Eye of the Master (Paperback, 2023, Verso Books) 5 stars

AI is here to stay and radical perspective over it is crucial although I don't see such a political force anywhere, yet.

Jan Potocki, Zoja Skušek-Močnik: Rokopis iz Zaragoze (Slovenian language, 1987, Mladinska knjiga) 4 stars

It is 1739 and Alphonse van Worden, a Walloon officer serving the King of Spain, …

Read in one go... Cabalistic twists and intertwined stories got me entangled and I couldn't stop reading. (probably it was also related to the fact that I had a lot to do and read the book for procrastination).

I'm also a fan of the movie and I'm looking forward to watch the movie again. What I'm also looking forward to is the complete edition of the Saragossa manuscript. The foreword of edition I read from 1987 was saying that the current edition includes only one forth of the complete work which was found by accident not to long ago (170 years after author's death) and is with the publisher. Does anybody knows more about this edition that according to the foreword is 700 pages long?
