Nova Istra

399 occupation and destruction of this Middle European city on the Danube River in Croatia; contemporary Chilean poetry by writers of the Croatian origin; novel by the Nobel Prize Winner Orhan Pamuk – The White Castle, etc. On the 100 th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, native region contributions reveal, among other things, the human solidarity in the most difficult circumstances – how the Istrian children were saved from famine and massive death by their compatriots in the north of Croatia. The reviews section does not only include recent literary editions, but it also pre- sents books in the fields of history, film, visual arts, etc. Translation: Renata Šamo, Pula
