Publisher Description:
"Caf turco com os ex-jugoslavos" conta a hist ria de uma viagem de um grupo de portugueses a quatro dos pa ses que integravam a extinta Jugosl via, atrav s das palavras e da fotografia. O grupo visitou, por esta ordem, a Eslov nia, a S rvia, a B snia e Herzegovina e a Cro cia. O livro conta, ainda, outras hist rias dos ex-jugoslavos, dando a conhecer ao leitor um pouco da sua cultura, da sua gastronomia, da sua hist ria, das suas l nguas, das suas paisagens e da sua arquitetura. Procura encontrar o que ainda une os ex-jugoslavos e o que aconteceu ao longo da hist ria para que acabassem politicamente separados. O ancestral caf turco, um legado do Imp rio Otomano, patrim nio imaterial da humanidade, um dos elementos culturais que ainda unem os ex-jugoslavos, mesmo que por vezes se esconda sob designa es distintas em pa ses diferentes. A viagem foi suscitada pela leitura de um exemplar com 52 anos do romance "A ponte sobre o Drina", do escritor jugoslavo Ivo Andric, emprestado pelo av dos autores. Os viajantes foram ver com os seus pr prios olhos a ponte e o rio Drina que o livro descreve, na cidade de Visegrad, hoje situada na Rep blica S rvia da B snia, na B snia e Herzegovina. English description: "Caf turco com os ex-jugoslavos" ("Having a Turkish coffee with the former Yugoslavs") is the nonfiction story of a group of Portuguese travelers setting out on a journey to four countries that once belonged to the former Yugoslavia, through words and photographs. The trip included Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. The book also tells other stories about former Yugoslavians, letting the reader learn a little more about their culture, their food, their history, their languages, their landscapes and their architecture. It attempts to find out whether there are still cultural features uniting former Yugoslavs to this day and what happened throughout history for them to end up politically separated. The ancient Turkish coffee, a legacy of the Ottoman Empire, which belongs to the UNESCO world heritage list, is one of the cultural features that still appear to unite former Yugoslavs, even though it sometimes hides itself behind distinct names in different countries. The group trip was sparked by the book "The Bridge on the Drina", by Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andric. One of the authors read a 52 year old edition of this novel, borrowed from his grandfather and felt he and his friends had to see with their own eyes the real bridge and the Drina river the book describes, in the city of Visegrad, located today in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Paulo Mendes da Silva and Pedro Mendes da Silva are Portuguese and were born in Luanda, Angola. They are compulsive travelers, computer scientists and twin brothers. Pedro Mendes da Silva shoots and Paulo Mendes da Silva writes.
