In “The Boring Book,” Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 turned to humor, subtle horror, and entertaining essays. Her “Sva\u0161tara” (Miscellany), as the subtitle-genre of the book reads, is a summary of everything the author dealt with in her previous books: travelogues, love stories, following the phenomena of the modern world and its interweaving with the ancient… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before the readers is an unusual autobiographical prose. Dressed in a travelogue through exotic Azerbaijan and in a series of private-public memories, it speaks of the love of two Serbian writers whom not even death could separate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Written smoothly, sometimes sharply, often wistfully, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107’s book On the Shore of the Khazar Sea will introduce the reader to what Eurovision looks like in Euroasia, why the Caspian Sea is called the Khazar Sea in Azerbaijan, and what miraculous events took place on the border of two continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The four prose units that make up this book were edited by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107, keeping faithful to the imaginative, original and unusual literary playfulness of Milorad Pavi\u0107, and skillfully intertwining two different prose manuscripts, her own and Pavi\u0107’s, into a harmonious collage and a surprisingly flowing and fresh whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “The Khazar Sea is not like other earthly seas and oceans: it is like a sea of dreams, even more like a sea woven from Another Reality, and most of all like what it truly is \u2013 THE SEA OF LOVE. In such (both virtual and real!) temporal-spatial coordinates moves the co-authorial pair of this book, who also represent its main characters: here Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 and Milorad Pavi\u0107 find their eternal home, for Love itself is eternally embodied in the Word\u2026<\/a>” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Paris Kiss is a distinctive adventure-travelogue novel. It takes place over four days in Paris. At the same time, it is an entertaining metaphysical-philosophical-esoteric novel that can be read as a survival manual for the latest era we have stepped into. It is a book about how to overcome stress, how to buy little boots in Paris, what the future will look like, what will happen to Christianity and other religions, which are the good cafes in Paris, how Belgrade is seen from Paris, and how Paris is seen from Belgrade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In addition to the fact that the real time of events is set in four days, Paris Kiss speaks of the moment in which all of us, the whole of humanity, find ourselves. It is about the threshold between a new era and the latest era. Or about the crossroads where one passes from an analog epoch into a digital one. That is why it also tells a story about love, solitude, fear, global climate change, nature as the greatest luxury, about Paris as a city that hides the entrance to the beyond, about male-female relationships and about the new epoch of the female divine. Paris Kiss seeks and finds the new messiah for whom the third millennium yearns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This detective-alchemical novel with elements of science fiction and the deciphering of urban city codes attempts to look at the future through the past. It speaks, among other things, of the Mona Lisa code, megastores, major fashion brands, of immortality, and of whether speed prolongs life or annuls it. In any case, it is a triptych novel of considerable scope into which much has fit, including the reader’s excitement to see the end of the initiatory quest that is disguised as the purchase of three pairs of boots. Paris Kiss is an ultralight novel with weighty themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In Russia, the translation of the novel appeared for the Moscow Book Fair, at the end of November 2007. The unconventional design of the book is the work of Novi Sad designer Jovan Trkulja, whose works were proclaimed “The Best Design from Europe” in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          “Love with a Dictionary of the Unknown by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is not just a book of essays about love. It is also a collection of recipes for a better quality, more fulfilling and happier emotional life; a handbook on the right to emotions; a step-by-step guide for overcoming the fear of love; a primer of concepts that form the foundation of love; a do-it-yourself guide for liberation from guilt; an encyclopedia of different types of love, emotional know-how\u2026 In short, Love with a Dictionary of the Unknown is a small women’s bible of new sensibility. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 speaks in it \u2013 openly, from a female perspective \u2013 about what is usually not spoken about publicly, and even more rarely written about. She has found the right words to say what is most often kept silent.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            In the book Love Without Secrets, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 views love as a crucial fact in the life of every writer and every reader, but also as simultaneously the most public and most secret phenomenon of human life, insisting that there are many loves, and that the most beautiful and greatest is precisely the love in which the reader of this book finds themselves \u2013 now. “Our and the world’s love reality and tomorrow” seems to be the motto of the work Love Without Secrets, in which the author also speaks about how “love without secrets does not exist,” about the 21st century as a time when excess sacrifice was abolished, as well as about great, small and medium loves, avoiding love, love letters, the powerful and untouchable androgynous God, icons in life’s memorial, girlfriends as ideal lovers, the phenomena of love deception, patriotism and well-designed nature\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107’s work Ljubav bez tajni seems to be written in accordance with the motto of Erasmus of Rotterdam: \u201eLife is a feast \u2013 either drink, or leave\u201c, while the wit, wisdom and uncompromising positive energy in a time ruled by negation and depression announce that Ljubav bez tajni is a book that will yet be written and talked about.

              PUTNI ALBUM (TRAVEL ALBUM) is both a book of stories and a novel in stories and an anthropological essay and a private confession and a travelogue\u2026 It reads like an exciting thriller. It has drama, suspense, disturbing discoveries, an intimate yet non-trivial revelation of the marriage of two writers, Milorad Pavi\u0107 and Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107. PUTNI ALBUM is something like a love travelogue with many layers, which can be drunk like a glass of spring water, but also like a glass of expensive champagne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              PUTNI ALBUM is the winner of the \u201eDereta’s Book of the Year\u201c award. NIN magazine included it among the ten best prose books for 2004. This book was continuously on the top ten of the bestseller list at Dereta’s bookstore for nine months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Excerpts from reviews of Putni Album <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201ePutni Album is, therefore, a book of self-revealing \u201cwomen’s writing\u201d which mostly does not hide behind (post)feminist slogans but also does not shy away from displaying and exposing stereotypes regarding sexual, poetic or cultural prejudices; all the while depicting the shadow of the all-encompassing male world in the private and public sphere, it actually leaves its reach in an ingeniously indirect way\u2026 wittily thematizing the problem of \u201cwomen’s writing\u201d and cultural identity within largely worn-out images, describing its inner circles between pathos and irony, emphasized sentiment and discrete humor, between respect for tradition and the testing of postmodernist props, Putni Album is recommended, therefore, as reading at the same time sufficiently interesting and sufficiently challenging both for female and male audiences ready to invest something of their own curiosity and questioning into the reading.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In this year’s publishing production, “Private Collection” by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is the most exciting and sophisticated book in which the author skillfully, playfully, transitions from one documentary level to Poe-esque (E. A. Poe) horror and dynamics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              “Private Collection” by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is exciting reading, as palimpsests always are, captivating with its delicate confessional tone that leads the reader straight into the magic of the story, where literature and reality merge and equalize. In “Private Collection,” Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 brings us the pulse of modern Europe, the tastes of the ever-exciting and epicurean Paris, stories about the destinies of cities, buildings, people… “Private Collection” is decent and modern prose reading, which is, in fact, a lovely mixture of travel, detective and urban material, with a strong aroma of love, passion, horror and fear that make up human life. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              “Private Collection” somewhat resembles a magic cube, as it can be followed in several lines that touch or intersect each other. It can be read as a diary, a collection of travelogues, a guide through world museums or a small collection of female urban hedonism. In the book “Private Collection,” we follow exciting, often dramatic journeys, forward and backward through time. We will thus go to Kotor, Be\u010dej, \u010celarevo, to the island of Santorini and then to Paris, Moscow, Yasnaya Polyana, Geneva, Monte Carlo and many cities in France, ending the journey in Belgrade \u2013 a city under bombs. In “Private Collection,” we will discover how the past and myths refract through the Internet age, connecting in a strange way the families Dun\u0111erski, Tripkovi\u0107, Cituras, Tolstoy and Pavi\u0107-Mihajlovi\u0107. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Imagine what you can find in a writer’s private collection, in the secret compartments of their memory, in the exotic depths of their inspiration. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is a writer who leads the reader along her own obsessive paths. With the mysticism of her own questioning over the darkened places of former lives and deaths, Private Collection carries some different images and views that, in Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107’s manuscript, acquire alchemical outlines of eternal stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              It is a series of exciting travel stories that, in addition to unusually experienced places and landscapes of our country and Europe, depict the author’s life with her husband, writer Milorad Pavi\u0107. Her stories, in addition to detective plot, elements of horror and fantasy, abound with lucid, modern, urban female observations of various phenomena of the last decade of the 20th century. In the book “Private Collection,” the reader will find diary, epistolary, confessional and travel prose. J. Mihajlovi\u0107’s book actually contains the author’s private collection: unusual places in time and space, magical events, furniture, families, houses… Saying goodbye to the twentieth century with these stories, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 incorporated elements of Art Nouveau into its design in the form of graphic design from the pen of the artist from the beginning of the century, Dragutin Inkiostri. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The city of Kotor, the mystical center of the Bay of Kotor and Mediterranean culture, is the central pillar of the book by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 and Milorad Pavi\u0107. Two stories that begin on different pages of the book meet at one point, which does not offer the reader a resolution in the finality and positivism of earthly days; the point of their meeting is the threshold of literary infinity into which the reader sails at the beginning, although they are not immediately aware of it. Jasmina and Milorad Pavi\u0107 with their manuscript do not limit and narrow the mystical cosmos of Kotor; they make it infinite precisely through the theme and keys of the labyrinth of their stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                THE PASSAGE Claire Delaunay (pseudonym of Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107) Personal electronic edition, 9 July 2026. The first novel of the trilogy. A hotel mystery and psychological thriller about identity, absence, and the boundaries of perception. More about the novel and the trilogy BETWEEN Claire Delaunay (pseudonym of Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107) Personal electronic edition, 9 August 2026. The second novel of the trilogy. One man recognizes her. The other asks her nothing. Between them, she does not choose love. She chooses herself. \u201cBetween\u201d is not a divide. Between is where life happens. More about the novel and the trilogy GENEALOGY OF FRIENDS Genealogy of Friends, memorial album, Slu\u017ebeni glasnik, Belgrade, 2024, 172 pp. Genealogy of Friends by writer Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 (Slu\u017ebeni glasnik, 2024) contains memories of more than fifty public figures from the country and the world, whom she met during her life with her husband Milorad Pavi\u0107, and later. This memorial album “displays” over a hundred private photographs taken during the last thirty years. Genealogy of Friends is a testimony of a private nature. These are not memoirs, portraits or biographies, but intimate memories composed of sketches and small details.

In “The Boring Book,” Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 turned to humor, subtle horror, and entertaining essays. Her “Sva\u0161tara” (Miscellany), as the subtitle-genre of the book reads, is a summary of everything the author dealt with in her previous books: travelogues, love stories, following the phenomena of the modern world and its interweaving with the ancient… Exciting, intriguing, at times painful, at times sharp. And deeply lived. From socio-sociological paradox to intimate-lyrical address. Read more here: ON THE SHORE OF THE KHAZAR SEA Before the readers is an unusual autobiographical prose. Dressed in a travelogue through exotic Azerbaijan and in a series of private-public memories, it speaks of the love of two Serbian writers whom not even death could separate. Written smoothly, sometimes sharply, often wistfully, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107’s book On the Shore of the Khazar Sea will introduce the reader to what Eurovision looks like in Euroasia, why the Caspian Sea is called the Khazar Sea in Azerbaijan, and what miraculous events took place on the border of two continents. The four prose units that make up this book were edited by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107, keeping faithful to the imaginative, original and unusual literary playfulness of Milorad Pavi\u0107, and skillfully intertwining two different prose manuscripts, her own and Pavi\u0107’s, into a harmonious collage and a surprisingly flowing and fresh whole. “The Khazar Sea is not like other earthly seas and oceans: it is like a sea of dreams, even more like a sea woven from Another Reality, and most of all like what it truly is \u2013 THE SEA OF LOVE. In such (both virtual and real!) temporal-spatial coordinates moves the co-authorial pair of this book, who also represent its main characters: here Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 and Milorad Pavi\u0107 find their eternal home, for Love itself is eternally embodied in the Word\u2026” Prof. Dr. Sava Damjanov Review by Ana Atanaskovi\u0107 read here TRAVEL COLLECTION Travel Collection consists of a series of exciting travel stories that take place in Russia, Vojvodina, Greece, Egypt, Tunisia and Kotor.If you want to find out what is happening with the Tolstoy family, what an earthquake looks like in Santorini, what secrets the walls of Kotor hide and what secrets the Egyptian pyramids hold, take a walk through this book. From the author of The Parisian Kiss, new surprises await you! PARIS KISS Paris Kiss is a distinctive adventure-travelogue novel. It takes place over four days in Paris. At the same time, it is an entertaining metaphysical-philosophical-esoteric novel that can be read as a survival manual for the latest era we have stepped into. It is a book about how to overcome stress, how to buy little boots in Paris, what the future will look like, what will happen to Christianity and other religions, which are the good cafes in Paris, how Belgrade is seen from Paris, and how Paris is seen from Belgrade. In addition to the fact that the real time of events is set in four days, Paris Kiss speaks of the moment in which all of us, the whole of humanity, find ourselves. It is about the threshold between a new era and the latest era. Or about the crossroads where one passes from an analog epoch into a digital one. That is why it also tells a story about love, solitude, fear, global climate change, nature as the greatest luxury, about Paris as a city that hides the entrance to the beyond, about male-female relationships and about the new epoch of the female divine. Paris Kiss seeks and finds the new messiah for whom the third millennium yearns. This detective-alchemical novel with elements of science fiction and the deciphering of urban city codes attempts to look at the future through the past. It speaks, among other things, of the Mona Lisa code, megastores, major fashion brands, of immortality, and of whether speed prolongs life or annuls it. In any case, it is a triptych novel of considerable scope into which much has fit, including the reader’s excitement to see the end of the initiatory quest that is disguised as the purchase of three pairs of boots. Paris Kiss is an ultralight novel with weighty themes. In Russia, the translation of the novel appeared for the Moscow Book Fair, at the end of November 2007. The unconventional design of the book is the work of Novi Sad designer Jovan Trkulja, whose works were proclaimed “The Best Design from Europe” in America. LOVE WITH A DICTIONARY OF THE UNKNOWN “Love with a Dictionary of the Unknown by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is not just a book of essays about love. It is also a collection of recipes for a better quality, more fulfilling and happier emotional life; a handbook on the right to emotions; a step-by-step guide for overcoming the fear of love; a primer of concepts that form the foundation of love; a do-it-yourself guide for liberation from guilt; an encyclopedia of different types of love, emotional know-how\u2026 In short, Love with a Dictionary of the Unknown is a small women’s bible of new sensibility. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 speaks in it \u2013 openly, from a female perspective \u2013 about what is usually not spoken about publicly, and even more rarely written about. She has found the right words to say what is most often kept silent.” Prof. Dr. Neda Todorovi\u0107 LOVE WITHOUT SECRETS In the book Love Without Secrets, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 views love as a crucial fact in the life of every writer and every reader, but also as simultaneously the most public and most secret phenomenon of human life, insisting that there are many loves, and that the most beautiful and greatest is precisely the love in which the reader of this book finds themselves \u2013 now. “Our and the world’s love reality and tomorrow” seems to be the motto of the work Love Without Secrets, in which the author also speaks about how “love without secrets does not exist,” about the 21st century as a time when excess sacrifice was abolished, as well as about great, small and medium loves, avoiding love, love letters, the powerful and untouchable androgynous God, icons in life’s memorial, girlfriends as ideal lovers, the phenomena of love deception, patriotism and well-designed nature\u2026 Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107’s work Ljubav bez tajni seems to be written in accordance with the motto of Erasmus of Rotterdam: \u201eLife is a feast \u2013 either drink, or leave\u201c, while the wit, wisdom and uncompromising positive energy in a time ruled by negation and depression announce that Ljubav bez tajni is a book that will yet be written and talked about. Didn’t John Lennon say: \u201eAll you need is love\u201c. Sanja Domazet, \u0414\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0441 According to the reports of the \u201eBestseler\u201c list, the book Ljubav bez tajni placed 9th on the annual top list of non-fiction for the year 2006, with 14 weeks on the list of most-read books. TRAVEL ALBUM When you take intellectual and spiritual curiosity on a journey instead of luggage, then your album from that journey will be an autobiographical, diary and epistolary note. Small essays, letters to friends, notes and original comments make this book a guide for unusual tourists, for all those who want to sail through emotions, the heritage of centuries, friendship and the mysticism of landscapes that extend far beyond our views. PUTNI ALBUM (TRAVEL ALBUM) is both a book of stories and a novel in stories and an anthropological essay and a private confession and a travelogue\u2026 It reads like an exciting thriller. It has drama, suspense, disturbing discoveries, an intimate yet non-trivial revelation of the marriage of two writers, Milorad Pavi\u0107 and Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107. PUTNI ALBUM is something like a love travelogue with many layers, which can be drunk like a glass of spring water, but also like a glass of expensive champagne. PUTNI ALBUM is the winner of the \u201eDereta’s Book of the Year\u201c award. NIN magazine included it among the ten best prose books for 2004. This book was continuously on the top ten of the bestseller list at Dereta’s bookstore for nine months. Excerpts from reviews of Putni Album \u201ePutni Album is, therefore, a book of self-revealing \u201cwomen’s writing\u201d which mostly does not hide behind (post)feminist slogans but also does not shy away from displaying and exposing stereotypes regarding sexual, poetic or cultural prejudices; all the while depicting the shadow of the all-encompassing male world in the private and public sphere, it actually leaves its reach in an ingeniously indirect way\u2026 wittily thematizing the problem of \u201cwomen’s writing\u201d and cultural identity within largely worn-out images, describing its inner circles between pathos and irony, emphasized sentiment and discrete humor, between respect for tradition and the testing of postmodernist props, Putni Album is recommended, therefore, as reading at the same time sufficiently interesting and sufficiently challenging both for female and male audiences ready to invest something of their own curiosity and questioning into the reading.\u201c Tihomir Brajovi\u0107, NIN \u201eMore and more willingly and more and more often I read novels which \u201eseriously try\u201c not to be one. For example, Putni Album by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107\u2026 An intoxicating, yet genre-indefinable book.\u201c Radovan Beli Markovi\u0107, NIN and Evropa In this year’s publishing production, “Private Collection” by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is the most exciting and sophisticated book in which the author skillfully, playfully, transitions from one documentary level to Poe-esque (E. A. Poe) horror and dynamics. Isidora Bjelica “Private Collection” by Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 is exciting reading, as palimpsests always are, captivating with its delicate confessional tone that leads the reader straight into the magic of the story, where literature and reality merge and equalize. In “Private Collection,” Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 brings us the pulse of modern Europe, the tastes of the ever-exciting and epicurean Paris, stories about the destinies of cities, buildings, people… “Private Collection” is decent and modern prose reading, which is, in fact, a lovely mixture of travel, detective and urban material, with a strong aroma of love, passion, horror and fear that make up human life. Sanja Domazet, “Danas” “Private Collection” somewhat resembles a magic cube, as it can be followed in several lines that touch or intersect each other. It can be read as a diary, a collection of travelogues, a guide through world museums or a small collection of female urban hedonism. In the book “Private Collection,” we follow exciting, often dramatic journeys, forward and backward through time. We will thus go to Kotor, Be\u010dej, \u010celarevo, to the island of Santorini and then to Paris, Moscow, Yasnaya Polyana, Geneva, Monte Carlo and many cities in France, ending the journey in Belgrade \u2013 a city under bombs. In “Private Collection,” we will discover how the past and myths refract through the Internet age, connecting in a strange way the families Dun\u0111erski, Tripkovi\u0107, Cituras, Tolstoy and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2194","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2194"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3358,"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2194\/revisions\/3358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jasminamihajlovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
