2010ref. 9788677181055Fabrika knjiga 2010. paperback. NEW. Inspektor Aurelio Zen glavni junak Dibdinovog ""italijanskog ciklusa"" u ovom romanu je jos manje junak nego inace. Zaokupljen hipohondrijom i raspadanjem dugogodisnje veze sa Djemom on je ispustio iz ruku cak i konce sopstvenog zivota. Sve se zbiva mimo njega i svi su bolje obavesteni. Ni osnovni ton ""Povratka u Bolonju"" - najvedrijeg romana u ciklusu - nije u skladu sa Zenovim trenutnim raspolozenjem i tragicnim osecanjem zivota. Ipak kada se putanje mnogih licnosti i dogadjaja prepletu Zen ce se ni kriv ni duzan naci u sredistu raspleta. Povratak u Bolonju moze se citati kao dobar kriminalisticki roman ali i kao postmodernisticka komedija zabune koja vrvi od duhovitih komentara i aluzija na savremenu italijansku pa i globalnu kulturu i njene ikone.

This set with the additional set of etchings on india paper by George Lewis of a classic work of the utmost importance for its wealth of eye-witness information and anecdotes about printed books manuscripts buildings other artefacts and people both from past centuries and from the author's own day for the extraordinary collection of illustrations mostly drawn during the tour itself and finally as a sumptuous piece of book production. As soon as the book appeared leading scholars derided Dibdin for his lack of scholarship especially concerning early manuscripts and printed books. But one must distinguish between the extensive and extremely useful information about things and people Dibdin saw during his 1818 tour and his own interpretations and conclusions which now serve only as a window to the attitudes of the time. Dibdin's enthusiasm readable style and entertaining anecdotes moreover caught the mood of his age making the book extremely popular and influential. Lewis' A Series of Groups. was intended to accompany Dibdin's Tour but was rejected by Dibdin as unworthy of his book. Lewis most perturbed issued them at his own expense and presented his case in the eight-page Advertisement which was separately printed. Jackson 48; 56; 56n: Windle & Pippin A38a; A44; D13.
