20109788677181055Fabrika 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.

179927328London: Drawn etch'd & pub.by Dighton Charing Cross April 1799 1799. The earliest recorded portrait of Thomas John Dibdin. NCBEL III 1129-30. One crease; in fine condition. Rare. Hand-colored etching 20.5 x 16.5 cm with the caption "Sans Souci Jun." With the portrait is the manuscript note: "This Portrait of myself / taken in the palmy days of white neckcloths and frills / when I was as you see rather younger than at present is presented / by Thomas Dibdin April 28 1841." Around the image of Dibdin are depictions of his plays and songs. A fine portrait of the actor and writer Thomas John Dibdin 1771-1841 who like the other famous thespian Dibdins was involved in the English theater from an early age. Thomas John was one of three illegitimate children of Charles Dibdin and actress Harriet Pitt and in his early years on stage he used the name "T. Merchant" and his writings were published anonymously a fact that the artist Dighton makes a playful reference to in giving the subject of his portrait the name "Sans Souci Jun." Charles Dibdin was the owner of the San Souci Theater in London. See the ODNB for both Thomas John and Charles Dibdin. (London:) Drawn, etch'd & pub.by Dighton, Charing Cross, April, 1799 unknown
