Vladimir Pištalo Book order (chronological)

"The Tale of Alexander" by Vladimir Pištalo is a novella that presents a story about a man who conquered the whole world. It is, in fact, a saga about what the world is and what it is not, where it begins and where it ends—not just the world of Alexander the Great's time, but also our world, especially our inner world, which we either control or which controls us, where we are either victors or defeated, a world that can be a labyrinth, much like India was for Alexander's warriors. The story of the life of the conqueror Alexander, "the greatest wave in the sea of humanity," is well-known, but Pištalo's version offers a perspective through an unusual lens. His work focuses primarily on structure (a novella that is a saga) and linguistic devices (metaphor, synesthesia) as well as unusual juxtapositions and reinterpretations of historical facts and myths.

Svijet se promijenio manje od doba Platona do Teslinog rođenja nego od Teslinog rođenja do njegove smrti. Teško je ostati fasciniran pričom o povijesnom iskoraku od homerskog pripovjedača legendi do letenja na plavom zraku energije - u jednom ljudskom životu. Teslina biografija je podsticajna i emotivno ispričana kronika jedne od najvećih promjena u ljudskoj historiji - u nekoliko zemalja, na dva kontinenta.
