My Land of Tourism & Futurism / in ENGLISH language

Slika
Note: Due to my comitments in promotion of tourism, culture and preparing of new books I will write once a month new texts for this blogspot.  My Land of Tourism & Futurism If Bruce Springsteen and I have something in common, it's our little local region and community of people we are promoting. Explaining the messages of his songs, he cited numerous examples with which he wanted to honor the community and the place he came from, and it is remarkable that The Boss from New Jersey titled his first album almost as a tourist postcard: Greetings from Asbury Park N.J., which is his birth place in the state of New Jersey. Listening to his songs, this realistic, non-embellished presentations of landscapes that marked his life from childhood til today I could not avoid comparison with my Žumberak. Like Springsteen, I also have my "promised land" that I want to show you here.  Although I was born in the urban metropolis, Zagreb, my mot...

Moja zemlja turizma i futurizma / na HRVATSKOM jeziku

Napomena: Zbog poslovnih obaveza u promociji turizma, kulture i pripremi novih knjiga jednom mjesečno ću pisati nove tekstove za ovaj blog. Moja zemlja turizma i futurizma Ako Bruce Springsteen i ja imamo nešto zajedničko to je naš mali lokalni kraj i zajednica ljudi koje promoviramo. Objašnjavajući poruke svojih pjesama navodio je u njima brojne primjere s kojima želi odati poštovanje toj zajednici i kraju iz kojeg potječe, a znakovito je da je Boss iz New Jerseya svoj prvi album naslovio gotovo kao turističku razglednicu: Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., što je njegovo rodno mjesto u državi New Jersey. Slušajući u njegovim pjesmama te realistične, neuljepšane prikaze krajolika koji su obilježili njegov život od djetinjstva do danas nisam mogao izbjeći usporedbe sa svojim Žumberkom. Kao i Springsteen i ja također imam svoju "obećanu zemlju" koju vam želim ovdje prikazati. Premda sam rođen u urbanoj metropoli Zagrebu, moja majka je rođena ovdje i Žum...

Badlands as The Promised Land (rock introduction to the topic) / in ENGLISH language

Slika
Note: Due to my comitments in promotion of tourism, culture and preparing of new books I will write once a month new texts for this blogspot. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Badlands as The Promised Land (Rock introduction to the topic of my next post) (Note: This is my comment on one specific detail about these people, not the band's music criticism and I do not even want to be a rock critic.) Right at the beginning I admit, I'm not a Bruce Springsteen fan and maybe it's better to take a more neutral position towards his music. Of course, I liked his commercial, feel-good song Dancing In The Dark, but most of the others that show sadness and naturalistic descriptions of hard struggle for a better life I did not. When I heard first presentation of his songs on the radio (and here we always find out about new American hopes with a pretty long delay) I thought what everyone would have probably thought of him. All right, the man tries to be honest in his ...

Badlands kao Obećana Zemlja (rock uvod u temu) / na HRVATSKOM jeziku

Napomena: Zbog poslovnih obaveza u promociji turizma, kulture i pripremi novih knjiga jednom mjesečno ću pisati nove tekstove za ovaj blog. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN – Badlands kao Obećana Zemlja (Rock uvod u temu o kojoj pišem u sljedećoj objavi) (Napomena: Ovo je moj komentar jednog odabranog specifičnog detalja o tim ljudima, a ne glazbena kritika i ja niti ne želim biti rock kritičar.) Odmah na početku priznajem, ja nisam fan Brucea Springsteena i možda je to bolje, da imam neutralniju poziciju prema njegovoj glazbi. Naravno, i ja sam volio njegovu komercijalnu, feel-good pjesmu Dancing In The Dark, ali većinu drugih iz kojih izbija tuga i naturalistički opisi teške borbe za bolji život nisam. Kad sam prvi put čuo na radiju predstavljanje njegovih pjesama (a mi ovdje uvijek doznamo za nove američke nade s priličnim vremenskim zaostatkom) pomislio sam ono što bi vjerojatno pomislio svatko. U redu, čovjek pokušava biti iskren u svojim pjesmama i traži taj "human...

novel "SHENGZIAN OPARAMUN" / in ENGLISH language

Slika
Crime SF novel about the future century in which the East has become stronger than the West. SHENGZIAN OPARAMUN is a psychological SF novel with the elements of the crime thriller that takes place in Zagreb in the distant future of the 23rd century. I have put the plot of the novel into the far future for one technological invention that is impossible with today's technology, and the story goes through neuroscience and other probable technologies of the future. In the novel there is an accident and the mysterious death investigated by the police. One poorly paid worker in a HI-TEC factory, as a socially abandoned outsider will come to some surprising discoveries what is actually happening there... Unlike the first, the name of this novel is neologism that intentionally sounds futuristic but has a very concrete meaning and around it spins the whole plot of the story. As the novel is in the far, distant but yet a precise future, speaking futuristically those fictional words ...
