Yann Martel: 'Nijemci su slijedili Hitlera i završili u paklu. Donald Trump radi isto'
Yann Martel visited Zagreb for the release of his new book titled No One's Son through Naklada Ljevak. The author uses two stories separated by millennia, drawing on Homer and the Trojan War, to discuss death, loss, love, and anger. This work examines the myths that form the basis of Western civilization. During his visit, the writer spoke about the Holocaust, Gaza, and the limits of wealth. He also discussed the political charisma of Donald Trump, comparing him to Hitler. Martel touched upon the relationship between Canada and the United States. He explained why people need better dreams when facing brutal reality.
Roman 'Pijev život' donio mu je Bookera i svjetsku slavu. U novoj knjizi, 'Ničiji sin' Yann Martel poseže za Homerom i Trojanskim ratom kako bi kroz dvije priče razdvojene tisućljećima progovorio o gnjevu, ljubavi, gubitku i smrti te preispitao mitove na kojima počiva zapadna civilizacija. Knjiga je na hrvatskom objavljena u izdanju Naklade Ljevak, koja je pisca ugostila ovaj tjedan u Zagrebu, a tim povodom popričali smo o granicama bogatstva, holokaustu i Gazi, političkoj karizmi Donalda Trumpa i odnosima Kanade i SAD-a, ali i tome zašto su nam, suočenima s brutalnošću stvarnosti, potrebni bolji snovi
