Más cerca de 4 estrellas que de las 3. Recopilación de relatos en general muy interesantes, abarca diferentes visiones de lo que es la Unión Europea actual y hacía donde queremos llevarla. Recomendaría especialmente algunos textos como el que representan Malta o Rumanía, abren mucho los ojos sobre que esperábamos que fuese la UE y que ha acabado siendo. Por otro lado hay otros textos como el de Filandia que expresan también lo que es la UE fuera de la política y la economía y como nos afecta en
Táto publikácia prináša pohľady 28 žien z rôznych kútov Európy - vedkyne, spisovateľky, umelkyne, novinárky. Hovoria o Európe a o projekte Európskej Únie - s akým cieľom vznikla, čo priniesla a v čom sklamala, a rozmýšľajú, aká je jej budúcnosť, aké sú to témy a hodnoty, na ktoré by sa mala zamerať. Zo svojich rôznych perspektív vyzdvihujú myšlienky jednoty a súdržnosti, zdieľania a empatie. Každý/á si v tom nájde niečo iné, čo má potenciál niekam nás posunúť, donútiť sa pozrieť na známe veci in...
A rather unique literary project that brings together female voices from across the working landscape and from each of the European countries. They are each tasked with working out an idea of a future Europe. You have everyone from filmmakers, actors, data analysts, economists, social activists, writers, poets, translators, historians, anthropologists and journalists, which gives the whole project a really polyphonic perspective.That is also a tiny issue with the book. With so many wide and vari...
In a collection there are naturally going to be essays and stories that resonate, and others less so. As a whole I thought this was an excellent collection. The essays cover a wide range of subjects from fairy tales and myths, to politics, feminism, the digital age and more. Reading perspectives from women across Europe was enlightening. I particularly recommend the essays by Kapka Kassabova (Bulgaria), Leila Slimani (France), Lisa Dwan (Ireland) Zyudrune Vitalie (Lithuania) and Caroline Muscat
A modern look at Europe, such a good collection.
A wonderful collection of writing from women from each of the 28 EU member states. These writings take a critical, and sometimes difficult to swallow, look at the reality of Europe as it is today. As difficult as it is to face reality through these texts, they do also offer a solution to us. They're a call to action for change within our society. And leaves us with the question: what will become of Europe?
Amazing read! Full review coming soon.
Zbirka eseja i priča žena iz svih 28 europskih država. Budućnosti europske zajednice pristupale su na vrlo različite načine, a upravo je ova mnogostrukost pogleda bogatstvo zbirke. Ponegdje nam otkrivaju svoje individualne sudbine (nešto slabiji tekstovi), a drugdje govore o neočekivano dalekim vezama Europe i njenih članica i susjeda (poput izvrsne Kapke Kassabove s pričom o Ohridskom i Prespanskom jezeru na granici triju zemalja, ili Leile Slimani koja nas vodi na Mediteran i sjever Afrike).Hr...
28 women from each 28 EU countries write an essay about their own view on the future of Europe. These essays come in all shapes and colours: fictional stories with underlying messages, plays, personal experiences, stories from people that no longer can tell their own story... I personally loved some essays and hated others but all of them made me think. I guess this was the aim of the book.

This is a brilliant @hayfestival project that brought women's voices from every European country together with force, kindness and purpose. It includes passionate essays, personal accounts as well as stunning imagery about our dear Europe. The theories and stories come with so many voices and forms that it's an intriguing read. For me, this blended effort was the most powerful element - like Europe, this book does not have just one story and the effect of the whole is stunning. I loved it, I fel...
