Vladimir Ognev – Putem Odisseya (In the Way of Odysseus)
Step into the literary landscapes of 20th-century Europe with Vladimir Ognev’s Putem Odisseya, a compelling collection of travel essays that blend personal memoir with cultural history. A respected literary scholar, Ognev takes readers on a journey through the literary capitals of Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the nations of the former USSR and the Baltics.
What makes this volume uniquely valuable is the author’s personal acquaintance with many of the writers he profiles. The book features intimate portraits of literary giants including Pablo Neruda, Bertolt Brecht, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, Gyula Illyés, Miroslav Krleža, Rafael Alberti, Tonino Guerra, and Tadeusz Różewicz. Ognev’s firsthand encounters bring these figures to life, offering insights beyond standard literary criticism.
Putem Odisseya is more than a travelogue—it is a chronicle of a vanished era of intellectual exchange across divided Europe. For fans of literary history, memoir, and the stories behind the stories, this book is a rare window into the friendships and dialogues that shaped modern literature.
