SEE FEST announces collaboration with Metropolis Books for 2012!

We looked for a partner who loves movies, cherishes those

great old ones and has an ear for contemporary tastes as well. We hope you'll

like them too: Metropolis Books. From now on every time you look for a book and

make a purchase at this cool online store, you will be supporting SEE FEST too.

So, don't forget to mention our name!! Metropolis has suggested a few titles by

authors from South East Europe for your reading pleasure:

The Tiger's Wife is Tea Obreht's debut novel and National Book award finalist as well as New York Times bestseller. It weaves together family legend, loss and love, and the recent troubled past. Winner of 2011 Orange Prize for fiction, The Tiger's Wife

is a brilliant and beautifully written first novel.

 

Peasants Under Siege by Gail Kligman and Katherine Verdery. In 1949 Romania's fledgling communist regime unleashed a radical and brutal campaign to collectivize agriculture in this largely agrarian country, following the Soviet model. Peasants under Siege provides the first comprehensive look at the far-reaching social engineering

process that ensued. 

One of the favorite authors at Metropolis Books is Orhan Pamuk: The Museum of Innocence is a dark and moody novel with a message about the human condition. Truly one of Orhan Pamuk's best novels about the tumultuous 1970's in Istanbul.

 

Other notable authors from South East Europe are also

available at the Metropolis Books online store. Website: http://www.metropolisbooksla.com/
