Opis: Submission includes the first part of the audiobook "Besedi na sledi" (Following the Word) by author Andrej Blatnik (COBISS.ID: 275429379, ISBN: 978-961-291-541-4). “Besedi na sledi” is a dynamic, original travelogue—almost essential reading for lovers of books and travel—in which writer, essayist, and editor Andrej Blatnik brings together, in an innovative way, his two long-standing passions: books in all their diversity and his journeys through India and Southeast Asia, where he spends most of his free time. In the book, subtitled Hunting for Books in South Asia, he merges both into a unified narrative that blends essayistic reflection with a personal travel account. His trips to South Asia, and especially to India, have often been prompted by invitations to literary festivals, after which he extends his stays to explore less-visited places and meet both local characters and unusual expatriates. For decades, he has been searching across the region for second-hand English bookshops and exchange stalls, engaging with the enthusiasts who keep these literary outposts alive. Along the way, he occasionally comes across books that he later publishes in his role as an editor.
