Er Srbija » Air Serbia | 5 Reč dobrodošlice Welcomemessage Duncan Naysmith CEO Air Serbia IZUZETNOME RADUJE ŠTO SMO POSLE TRI MESECA PAUZE PONOVO ZAJEDNO. U današnjem svetu putovanja su ključna u našim poslovima i našim životima i zbog toga ne mogu i ne treba da prestanu. Komercijalni letovi kojima se Srbija povezuje sa svetom i stvaranje mogućnosti nikada nisu bili važniji nego u ovakvim vremenima. U ime celog tima želim vam dobrodošlicu na ovaj let Er Srbije! Pandemija koronavirusa bila je težak izazov za sve nas. Iako nismo obavljali komercijalne putničke letove tokom vanrednog stanja, pružili smo podršku Vladi Srbije tako što smo obavili više od 100 rotacija, kojima smo prevezli više od 10.000 putnika i dopremili tone neophodne medicinske pomoći iz udaljenih delova sveta poput Kine, Amerike i Južne Koreje. Ispunjava nas ponosom to što smo na hiljade naših građana koji su se našli zarobljeni na aerodromima širom sveta bezbedno vratili kući. Od 21. maja počeli smo da postepeno obnavljamo i komercijalni putnički saobraćaj. U okviru naše strategije obnove letova vaše i zdravlje naših članova posade bilo nam je na prvommestu prilikom planiranja. Saobraćaj je za nas od ključnog značaja. Učili smo iz prethodnih iskustava sa zarazama poput H1N1 i kontinuirano poboljšavali i unapređivali kapacitete kako bismo zaštitili naše putnike i posadu. Uveli smo niz bezbednosnih i higijenskih mera u skladu sa najvišim standardima i uputstvima nadležnih domaćih i međunarodnih regulatornih tela, uključujući i način na koji obezbeđujemo cirkulisanje čistog i svežeg vazduha u našim avionima putem naprednih HEPA filtera, dezinfekciju i čišćenje naših aviona između letova i postupke u slučaju pojave simptoma kod putnika. Osim toga, nošenje maski obavezno je tokom čitavog trajanja leta za sve putnike i članove posade. Naša mreža nastavlja da se razvija u ovom periodu neprekidnih promena u ograničenjima putovanja u zemlje do kojih smo prethodno saobraćali. Trenutno letimo do više od 30 destinacija i pomno pratimo situaciju da bismo osigurali fleksibilnost, agilnost i brzo reagovanje na tržištu u okruženju koje se stalno menja. Sa zadovoljstvom najavljujemo otvaranje nove linije do Osla 16. jula. Period posle krize usled kovida-19 biće dobar test za sve nas kao ljude, roditelje, prijatelje, kolege i kao nacionalnu avio-kompaniju Srbije. Uveren sam da ćemo iz te krize izaći ojačani, sa povećanim razumevanjem jedni za druge, samouvereni, okrenuti budućnosti i uspešni. Vreme je da gledamo u svetliju budućnost i da ponovo uživamo u osećanju slobode. Uživajte u letu i želim vam srećan put. U ime celog tima želim vam dobrodošlicu na ovaj let Er Srbije On behalf of the whole team, I welcome you aboard this Air Serbia flight I AMDELIGHTED THATWE ARE REUNITED AF TER A THREE MONTH BREAK. In today’s world, travel is fundamental to our business and our lives, which is why it cannot and should not stop. Connecting Serbia to and from the world through commercial flights and creating opportunities is never more important than at times like this. On behalf of the whole team, I welcome you aboard this Air Serbia flight! The Coronavirus pandemic has been difficult and challenging for us all. Although we did not operate any commercial flights during the state of emergency, we supported the Serbian Government by operating over 100 round-trip flights, transportingmore than 10,000 passengers and deliveringmuch-neededmedical aid from remote parts of the world, including China, the U.S. and South Korea. We were proud to assist in safely bringing home thousands of our fellow citizens who were stranded at airports around the world. We gradually resumed commercial flights on 21st May. As part of our re-launch strategy, your health and the health of our crewmembers has been at the forefront of our plans. Operations are our lifeblood. We’ve learned from past experience with outbreaks like H1N1, and have continually improved and refined our ability to protect our passengers and crew. We have implemented a series of safety and hygienic measures, in accordance with the highest standards and instructions of competent domestic and international regulatory bodies, including the way we circulate clean and fresh air in our aircraft with highly advanced HEPA filters, howwe sanitise and clean our aircraft between flights and howwe respond if a customer is displaying symptoms. In addition, it is mandatory for all passengers and crew to wear masks during the entire flight. Our network continues to evolve in this period of constant changes in travel restrictions in countries to which we previously operated. We are currently flying to more than 30 destinations and are carefully monitoring the situation to ensure flexibility, agility and speed to market in an everchanging environment. We are pleased to announce the opening of a new route to Oslo on 16th July. The post Covid-19 crisis period will be a revealing test of us all, as people, parents, friends, colleagues and as the national airline of Serbia. I am confident that we will emerge from it strengthened, compassionate, confident, forward-looking and successful. It is time to look towards a brighter future and to once again enjoy a sense of freedom. Enjoy your flight and have a great trip.

Letovima četvrtkom i nedeljom do glavnog aerodroma norveške prestonice Oslo Gardermoen ponovo ćemo uspostaviti liniju na kojoj je do 2008. godine decenijama leteo njen prethodnik JAT. Na taj način ćemo omogućiti još bolju povezanost regiona sa Skandinavijom, uz pogodne konekcije iz Osla preko Beograda do Sarajeva, Tivta, Podgorice, Skoplja, Bukurešta, Sofije, Soluna i drugih destinacija u mreži srpske kompanije. – Izuzetno nas raduje što ćemo u našu mrežu uvrstiti još jedan od glavnih evropskih aerodroma i tako obezbediti povezanost sa Beogradom i preko Beograda ka širem regionu jugoistočne Evrope. Nastavljamo da se i u ovim izmenjenim uslovima poslovanja prilagođavamo potražnji na tržištu i potrebama naših putnika. Kao lider u regionu, naša je obaveza da predvodimo oporavak avio-saobraćaja posle svih izazova koji su ga zadesili – rekao je Dankan Nejsmit, generalni direktor Er Srbije. Letovi između Osla i Beograda omogućiće građanima Norveške poreklom iz Srbije i drugih zemalja regiona da budu bolje povezani sa svojim porodicama i prijateljima koji žive na Balkanu. Istovremeno, očekuje se da ovi letovi doprinesu jačanju turističkih i poslovnih veza regiona i Skandinavije. AIR SERBIAWILL LAUNCH FLIGHTS TO Oslo on 16th July. With flights on Thursdays and Sundays to Oslo’s Gardermoen Airport, the Norwegian capital’s main airport, we will re-establish the route that was operated for decades, until 2008, by our predecessor JAT. In this way we will ensure even better connectivity between our region and Scandinavia, with convenient connections fromOslo via Belgrade to Sarajevo, Tivat, Podgorica, Skopje, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki and other destinations in the Serbian airline’s network. “We are delighted to add another primary European airport to our network and provide seamless connectivity to Belgrade and via Belgrade to the wider region of Southeast Europe. In these difficult times, we continue to evolve to market demands and the needs of our passengers. As a regional leader, it is our obligation to drive the recovery of air transport, after all the challenges it has faced,” says Air Serbia CEO Duncan Naysmith. Flights between Oslo and Belgrade will allow Norwegian citizens with origins in Serbia and other countries of our region to have better connections with their families and friends who live in the Balkans. At the same time, these flights should contribute to strengthening tourist and business connections between our region and Scandinavia. NOVA DEST I NAC I JA NEW DEST I NAT I ON

NASLEĐE HER I TAGE Sa Arsenomdo Njujorka Kad je JAT 1978. godine kupio prvi širokotrupni avion daglas DC 10-30, koji je za ono vreme mogao da primi neverovatnih 380 putnika, na Surčinskom aerodromu danima su se skupljali znatiželjnici da vide kako sleće i poleće ta grdosija. Bila je to prvorazredna senzacija, a JAT je postao jedina kompanija neke socijalističke zemlje koja se mogla pohvaliti takvim tipom aviona. Zbog svog kapaciteta, kao i doleta avioni DC-10 koristili su se za interkontinentalne letove. A na letovima je bilo više nego uzbudljivo i za današnje prilike prilično nezamislivo. Ako zanemarimo činjenicu da je tada moglo da se puši u kabini, treba podsetiti i da je ketering bio vrhunski, odnosno da su jela za prekookeanske letove spremali najbolji kuvari. Da putnicima i pored svega ne bude dosadno, brinuli su se razni umetnici. Jedan od njih, zabeleženo je na ovoj dragocenoj fotografiji, bio je legendarni Arsen Dedić, koji je putnicima na letu za Njujork svirao i pevao iznad okeana. Nezaboravno. WITHARSEN TONEWYORK When in 1978 JAT bought its first wide-body aircraft, a Douglas DC10-30 that was able to accommodate 380 passengers - an incredible number at the time - curious locals gathered at Surčin Airport for days to see how this gargantuan landed and took off. It was a top-class sensation, and JAT had become the only airline of a socialist country to boast this type of aircraft. Due to its capacity, as well as its range, DC-10 aircraft were used for intercontinental flights. And the experience of flights was more than exciting and quite unimaginable for today’s conditions. If we overlook the fact that smoking in the cabin was then permitted, it should be noted that the catering service was superb, with dishes for transoceanic flights prepared by the best chefs. Various artists were also engaged to ensure that passengers didn’t become bored. One of them - recorded in this precious image - was the legendary Arsen Dedić, who played music and sang above the ocean on a flight to New York. Unforgettable. 1978. 16 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia

Ovo je mala zbirka od šest prelepih ostrva, do kojih možete stići iz jedne od atinskih luka. Pirej je najveća, treća najprometnija luka na svetu, iz koje polazi većina trajekata.

26 | Kultura » Culture Narodni muzej National Museum Crvenokosa boginja izdvaja se ekspresivnošću i svedenošću forme The Red-haired Goddess stands out with its expressiveness and minimalism of form Jedinstveni nalaz. Crvenokosa boginja, 5500 p.n.e. Unique find. The Red-haired Goddess dating back to 5500 BC Crvenokosa boginja u Beogradu Red-haired goddess in Belgrade Stalna postavka Narodnog muzeja u Beogradu odnedavno je obogaćena jedinstvenom praistorijskom skulpturom poznatom u nauci kao Crvenokosa boginja The permanent exhibition of the National Museum in Belgrade has recently been enriched with a unique prehistoric sculpture that’s known to science as the Red-haired Goddess OVA KERAMIČKA FIGURINA OTKRIVENA JE U DONJOJ BRANJEVINI kod Odžaka, na Dunavu, pre tačno 30 godina. Crvenokosa boginja je nastala u vreme prvih zemljoradnika i stočara u Evropi, odnosno pre više od 7.500 godina. Nesvakidašnje visine za starije neolitske gurine, Crvenokosa boginja visoka 38 centimetara se sa pravom može nazvati monumentalnom skulpturom. Neobično veliku nagu žensku guru bujnih i prenaglašenih oblina, osim visine, od drugih neolitskih gurina izdvaja i pažljivo modelovana kosa, u kojoj su ponađeni tragovi crvene boje. Umetničke i simboličke predstave takvog tipa javljaju se tokom neolita na prostoru od Bliskog istoka do Podunavlja, ali su po pravilu znatno manjih dimenzija i znatno manje upečatljive. Crvenokosa boginja izdvaja se svojom ekspresivnošću i istovremeno i svedenošću forme snažno akcentovanih atributa plodnosti, što je za tadašnju zajednicu bilo od izuzetnog značaja za opstanak. Iako je otkrićem Sergeja Karamanskog i publikovana u naučnim časopisima svetlost dana ponovo ugledala pre 30 godina, Crvenokosa boginja do sada nije imala uslove da bude izložena i dostupna posetiocima. Zahvaljujući saradnji i inicijativi Biblioteke Branko Radičević iz Odžaka, u čijem sastavu je i arheološka zbirka iz Donje Branjevine, Crvenokosa boginja će biti poverena na dugoročnu pozajmicu Narodnom muzeju u Beogradu i imaće zasluženo mesto u stalnoj muzejskoj postavci. THISCERAMICFIGURINEWASUNCOVERED ON THE DANUBE in Donja Branjevina near Odžak exactly thirty years ago. e Red-haired Goddess was created during the time of the first crop farmers and herders in Europe, more than 7,500 years ago. An unusual height for older neolithic figurines, at 38cm tall the Red-haired Goddess can rightly be called a monumental sculpture. An extraordinarily large nude female figure with a lush and over-emphasized hairline, apart from height, she is also distinguishable among other Neolithic figurines due to her carefully modelled hair, in which traces of red have been found. Artistic and symbolic representations of this type emerged during the Neolithic period on territory stretching from the Middle East to the Danube region, though as a rule they are much smaller in size and much less striking. e Red-haired Goddess stands out with her expressiveness, simultaneously testifying to the form of strongly accentuated attributes of fertility, which were of great importance to the survival of the communities of that time. Although it was thirty years ago that she first saw the light of day again after millennia, with Sergej Karamanski’s discovery published in scientific journals, the Red-haired Goddess hasn’t previously had the conditions to be exhibited and accessible to visitors, until now. anks to the cooperation and initiative of the Branko Radičević Library from Odžak, the composition of which also includes the Archaeological Collection from Donja Branjevina, the Red-haired Goddess will be entrusted to the National Museum in Belgrade under a long-term loan and take its deserved place in the museum’s permanent exhibition.
28 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia PARIZ PARIS Stakleni oblak usred grada Pariz je svojevrsni centar najboljih muzeja sveta, a jedan od onih koji privlače veliku pažnju turista je Muzej Fondacija Luj Viton. Ovo spektakularno zdanje nalazi se na obodu Bulonjske šume i izgleda kao masivno jedro koje drže sajle, a napravljeno je od čak 3.600 staklenih panela koji se međusobno prepliću i savijaju. Muzej ima 11 izložbenih prostorija sa impresivnim postavkama, a tu su i terase sa kojih se pruža predivan pogled na francusku prestonicu. PARIS IS ITS OWN KIND of hub for the best museums in the world, and one of those that attracts the great attention of tourists is the museum of the Louis Vuitton Foundation. This spectacular building is located on the periphery of the Bois de Boulogne forest and resembles a massive sail held by cables, while it is made of as many as 3,600 glass panels that intertwine and bend. The museum has 11 exhibition spaces with impressive settings, and there are also terraces providing a beautiful view of the French capital. LONDON LONDON Nov život crvenih govornica Crvene telefonske govornice oduvek su bile simbol Londona, a danas su neke od njih pretvorene u mini-kafiće. Naime, supružnici Lorejnis Hernandez i Šon Raferti pretvorili su tri govornice u Amar kafee, u kojima služe kafu, i to pravu kolumbijsku, odakle su poreklom, kao i sladoled i peciva. Ističu da ovih dana, kad se London vraća normalnim tokovima života, imaju pune ruke posla jer kod njih turisti i domaćini mogu da uživaju u sitnim zadovoljstvima uz poštovanje pravila socijalne distance. RED TELEPHONE BOXES HAVE LONG been a symbol of London, and today some of them have been turned into mini cafes. Namely, married couple Loreinis Hernandez and Sean Rafferty turned three such boxes into “Amar cafe”, where they serve real coffee from Colombia, where they hail from, but also ice cream and pastries to take away. They point out that during these days when normal life is returning to London they have their hands full, because at their place both tourists and locals can enjoy small pleasures whilst respecting the rules of social distancing.

CIRIH ZURICH Parada slonova Do polovine avgusta u mestu Rapersvil, nadomak Ciriha, posetioci će moći da uživaju u pravom umetničkom spektaklu – Paradi slonova, koju čini više od 50 skulptura. Poslednja stanica parade, koja je do sada gostovala u više od 30 gradova širom sveta, upravo je Švajcarska, a neke od skulptura oslikali su pevač Fil Kolins, komičar Emil Stnajnberger i umetnik Romero Brito. Izložba se potom seli na aerodrom u Cirihu, a organizuje se s ciljem da se podigne svest o ugroženosti azijskih slonova. Zato svaka skulptura ima i dirljivu poruku. UNTIL MID AUGUST, IN RAPPERSWIL NE AR Zurich, visitors will be able to enjoy a real art spectacle – an Elephant Parade comprising more than 50 sculptures. Switzerland is the last stop for this parade, which has so far visited more than 30 cities worldwide, with some of the sculptures having been painted by singer Phil Collins, comedian Emil Steinberger and artist Romero Britto. The exhibition, which will next move to the airport in Zurich, is being organised with the aim of raising awareness about Asian elephants being under threat. That’s why every sculpture also has a touching message. FRANKFURT FRANKFURT Kulinarske ture Hrana povezuje ljude i otkriva nove vidike, pa su zato i kulinarske ture sve popularnije u svetskimmetropolama. Zaživele su i u Frankfurtu, gde uz pomoć lokalnog vodiča možete osetiti autentičan duh grada i uživati u kulinarskim i istorijskim pričama. Ture traju dva i po i četiri i po sata, a uz istraživanje zanimljivih mesta Frankfurta, otkrićete i najbolja mesta za jelo u gradu i specijalitete domaće kuhinje, poput kobasica frankfurter, umaka grune i kolača frankfurter kranc.

They have also come to life in Frankfurt, where - with the help of a local guide - you can experience the authentic spirit of the city and enjoy culinary and historical stories. The tours last either two and a half hours or four and a half hours, and alongside exploring interesting places in Frankfurt, you will discover the best places to eat in the city and specialities of local cuisine, such as frankfurter sausages, grune sosse (green sauce) and Frankfurt Kranz (Crown) cakes. Tours are reserved online. AMSTERDAM AMSTERDAM Putevima plemića Izuzev drvenih klompi, vetrenjača, lala i sira, amsterdamski kanali su jedna od prvih asocijacija na Holandiju. Vožnja brodom je bez sumnje jedna od glavnih atrakcija grada i odličan je način da ga upoznate. Amsterdam se diči sa čak 165 kanala, a tri glavna – Herengraht, Prizengraht i Kajzersgraht iskopana su još tokom 17. veka i napravila ih je grupa plemića. Danas se ti kanali nalaze na Uneskovoj listi svetske baštine, a turistička vožnja njima traje oko sat i najlepši doživljaj pruža noću, kad su kanali osvetljeni. ALONGSIDE WOODEN CLOGS, WIND MILLS, TULIPS and cheeses, the canals of Amsterdam are among the first associations with the Netherlands. Travelling by boat is undoubtedly one of the main attractions of the city and a great way to get to know it. Amsterdam boasts as many as 165 canals, and the three main ones - Herengracht, Prisengracht and Keizersgracht - were created during the 17th century and made by a group of nobles. These canals are today included on the UNESCOWorld Heritage List, and a tourist voyage along them lasts about an hour and provides the most beautiful experience at night, when the canals are illuminated.

32 | Ekskluzivno » Exclusive FREDR IK BAKMAN FREDR I K BACKMAN Moje ime je Fredrik Bakman. Neko kome je veoma stalo do tebe me je zamolio da ti pošaljem ovu knjigu, verovatno zato što taj neko želi da ostaneš kod kuće i pročitaš je. Želim da ti odmah kažem da to ne moraš da radiš ako ne želiš. Knjiga govori o čoveku po imenu Uve i, ako ćemo iskreno, on bi verovatno sada rekao da „ova korona“ nije nešto zbog čega treba da se uzrujavamo, ljudi prokleto preteruju ovih dana, sve se svelo na konsultante i mlade i nepouzdane ljude na TV-u koji misle da sve znaju. A veoma je teško raspravljati se sa Uveom kada on nešto odluči. Ovo kaže popularni švedski pisac Fredrik Bakman pozivajući se na lik iz svog debitantskog romana Čovek po imenu Uve, koji je po objavljivanju u matičnoj zemlji 2012. godine postao međunarodni fenomen. Roman je dosad preveden na 45 jezika, a lmska adaptacija bila je jednako hvaljena kao i pisano delo. Nema sumnje da će ovaj literarni predložak dobiti i adekvatnu adaptaciju u Holivudu, gde se priprema njegovo prenošenje na veliko platno, sa Tomom Henksom u naslovnoj ulozi. Za srpsko tržište roman Čovek po imenu Uve preveo je Nikola Perišić za izdavačku kuću Laguna. Nakon popularnosti koju je stekao kod domaćih čitalaca isti izdavač obezbedio je i ostale njegove naslove koji su usledili: Brit-Mari je bila tu (takođe adaptiran za lm, prikazan na ovogodišnjemFestu), Moja baka vamse izvinjava, Put do kuće svakog jutra sve je duži , Poslednja prilika i konačno Uznemireni ljudi , koji su pred domaću publiku stigli početkommarta. Prvih nedelja izolacije i vanrednog stanja ovaj naslov bio je na prvom mestu po prodaji i čitanosti u domaćim knjižarama. Uznemireni ljudi su tako korespondirali sa sveukupnim stanjem nacije. „Ali iskren da budem, mislim da bi Uve u sadašnjoj situaciji rekao još neke stvari“, piše Bakman iz samoizolacije tokom trajanja vanrednog stanja parafrazirajući lik Uvea, koji ga je širom sveta proslavio, i stavljajući ga u kontekst nesreće koja je zadesila čitav svet: „Mislim da bi uperio prst ka tebi, možda i celu ruku, i rekao ti da brineš o sebi. Mislim da bi ti Uve rekao da si važan, jer bez tebe bi na svetu manje-više ostala samo skupina idiota, pa ti razmisli o tome. Potreban si. I mislim da osoba koja me je zamolila da ti pošaljem ovu knjigu želi da zna da si voljen. Ti si nečija boja. I osoba čija si boja želi da se sa tobom raspravlja još mnogo, mnogo godina. Zato želim da vodiš računa o svom zdravlju... “ Intervju sa Fredrikom Bakmanom koji je pred vama čista je ekskluziva do koje smo došli upravo zahvaljujući saradnji sa izdavačkom kućom Laguna. Poznat po tome damu davanje intervjua remeti koncentraciju tokomočito gustog rasporeda pisanja i objavljivanja, razgovori sa njim su veoma retki. Zato nas je i iznenadilo kada je pozitivno odgovorio na poziv Elevejta, inspirisan, kako je i sam rekao, pitanjima koja je od nas dobio… Vaši romani su među najprodavanijim u mnogim zemljama sveta. Kritičari su ih često karakterisali kao dela puna šarma, humora i začudnosti, ali ne i banalnosti. Rečju, to su knjige u koje se ljudi zaljubljuju. Izgleda da je teško danas zaljubiti se u nekoga, ali u vašem slučaju to ne izgleda tako. Kako to uspevate? Da li možete da predvidite da će publika toliko voleti vaše priče i vaše heroje? – U ovom jednom zapravo ima više pitanja, ali odgovoriću na poslednje. Ne, niko ne može da predvidi šta će se publici dopasti. Ljudi su ekstremno nepredvidivi u vezi s timu kojim će pričama ili knjigama, ili umetnostima, ili muzici uživati, jer sve se zasniva na osećanjima, a osećanja se ne mogu predvideti. Jedino što možete da uradite kao pisac jeste da pišete o onome što lično volite i onome što snažno osećate i da se nadate da će i drugi osetiti isto. Kada se danas spomene skandinavska književna scena, prvo pomislimo na pisce krimića i na njihove mračne priče. Ali vi ste na potpuno drugoj strani i predstavljate jednu sasvim drugačiju svakodnevicu. Kako ste odlučili da pišete o običnim ljudima iz drukčije perspekDebitantski roman Fredrika Bakmana preveden je na 45 jezika i postao je međunarodni fenomen / Fredrik Backmans debut novel has been translated into 45 languages and became an international phenomenon
Exclusive » Ekskluzivno | 33 What would aman called Ove say today? I think he would point a finger at you, perhaps his whole arm, and tell you to take care of yourself. I think Ove would have said you’re important, because without you there’s more or less only a bunch of idiots left in the world, just think about that. You’re needed..., says the most widely read foreign writer in Serbia, speaking in this exclusive interview for Elevate My name is FredrikBackman. Someonewho cares a lot about you askedme to send you this book, probably because this someone wants you to stay at home and read it. What I want to tell you right off is that you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to. e book is about aman calledOve, and quite honestly he would probably have said that “this Corona” is nothing to get in a pickle about, people do so much bloody overreacting these days, it’s down to all the consultants and young people and flyby-nights on the TVwho think they know it all. is would probably have been Ove’s take on it. And it’s fairly difficult discussing anything withOve once he’smade up hismind.” is is what the popular Swedish writer Fredrik Buckman says, referring to the main character of his debut novel A Man Called Ove, which became an international phenomenon after being published in his native Sweden in 2012. e novel has to date been translated into 45 languages, while a film adaptation of the work has received as much praise as the written work. ere is no doubt that this literary template will also receive an adequate adaptation in Hollywood, where preparations are underway for it to be transferred to the big screen, with Tom Hanks in the lead role. e novel AMan CalledOve was translated for the Serbian market by Nikola Perišić, for publishing house Laguna. After gaining popularity among local readers, the same publisher secured the rights to his other titles that followed - Britt-Marie Was Here (also adapted for film and screened at this year’s Belgrade Fest), My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer, e Deal of a Lifetime and, finally, Anxious People, which became available to Serbian readers in early March, just a few days before the Coronavirus pandemic was declared. During the first weeks of isolation and the imposed state of emergency, this title ranked first in terms of sales and readership in Serbian bookshops. Anxious People thus corresponded with the overall state of the nation. “But I honestly think that Ove, in the current state of affairs, would have said some other things too. I think he would have pointed at you with his hand and even his whole arm to tell you to take care of yourself. I think Ove would have said you’re important, because without you there’s more or less only a bunch of idiots left in the world, just think about that. You’re needed. And I think the person who asked me to send this book wants me to know that you’re loved. You’re someone’s colour. And this person whose colour you are wants to keep feuding with you for many, many years to come. So I want you to take care of your health...” e interview with Fredrik Backman that you find in front of you is a pure exclusive, which we were granted thanks precisely to our cooperation with publishing house Laguna. Known for the fact that granting interviews disrupts his concentration during his obviously busy schedule of writing and publishing, conversations with him are very rare. at’s why we were surprised when he responded positively to Elevate’s request, saying himself that he felt inspired by the questions he received from us… Your novels are bestsellers in dozens of countries… According to critics, they are charming, humorous, and somewhat quirky — but not corny. In short, they’re the kind of books that people fall in love with. It seems difficult today to make someone fall in love, but in your case it seems effortless. How do you manage that? Could you have possibly predicted that your novels and heroes would have been embraced so warmly by readers? ese are a lot of different questions within one question, but let me answer the last one: No, no one ever knows what people will like. Humans are extremely unpredictable when it comes to what stories or books or art or music we will enjoy, because it’s all based on feelings, and feelings can never be predicted. e only thing you can do as a writer is to write what you yourself love and feel strongly about, and hope that others like the same things. When we hear about Scandinavian literature nowadays, we initially think of crime writers and novelists and their dark stories. But you have such a distinctive voice and point of view. What made you decide to write about common people from a different perspective? Did you even think of genre at the beginning or did you just want to tell some different kinds of stories? Well, to be honest there were a lot of Scandinavianwriters long before me who wrote in genres other than crime. Sweden in particular has a very rich history and heritage of great writers and novelists in whose footstep I’m very proud to follow. e “Scandinavian Crime” crime genre has, of course, become known internationally, but Scandinavian literature as a whole comes from a long and fantastic
34 | Ekskluzivno » Exclusive FREDR IK BAKMAN FREDR I K BACKMAN tive? Da li ste uopšte razmišljali o žanru na početku pisanja ili ste samo želeli da ispričate jednu drugačiju priču? – Da budem iskren, bilo je puno skandinavskih pisaca mnogo pre mene koji su pisali druge žanrove, a ne samo krimiće. Švedska posebno ima veoma bogatu istoriju i nasleđe sjajnih pisaca i pripovedača, čije stope ja ponosno pratim. Naravno, „skandinavski krimić“ postao je internacionalno poznat i popularan kao žanr, ali skandinavska literatura u celosti zapravo potiče iz duge i fantastične pripovedačke tradicije u našoj regiji. Ne samo da su tu sjajni romani već su tu i poezija i bajke, muzika i umetnost. Mi smo u osnovi pripovedači, možda upravo zbog te hladnoće, a možda samo želimo da mnogo toga ispričamo dok sedimo zaključani tokom čitave zime. Jednom ste rekli da počinjete pisanje od likova, a ne od priče. Dakle, ko su ljudi o kojima pišete? Ko je Uve, tako jedinstvena osoba u tako jedinstvenoj situaciji? Da li ste kombinovali različite ljude koje poznajete iz realnog života da biste ispričali njegovu priču? – Da, pretpostavljam da bi se tako moglo reći. Kreiranje lika je kao pravljenje soka od narandže. Da biste napravili samo jednu čašu, vrlo često vam je potrebno mnogo narandži. Isto tako, ponekad je potrebno stopiti dvadeset različitih „stvarnih“ ljudi kako bi bio kreiran jedan vrlo dobar lik za roman. Bio sam iznenađen humorom u Čovek po imenu Uve. Zasmejati ljude danas uopšte nije lako, ali vi to radite sjajno. Da li mislite da smo izgubili smisao za humor u svetu u kojem živimo danas i da su vaši romani postali toliko popularni jer uspevaju da obnove taj osećaj? – Ne, ne mislim da će ljudi ikada izgubiti smisao za humor. Neke od najboljih komedija na svetu nastale su pod strašnimokolnostima i kreirali su ih ljudi koji su prolazili kroz zastrašujuća životna iskustva. Mislimda je humor danas prirodan odbrambeni mehanizammnogih ljudi. Stoga se nikada nisam trudio da napišem „smešnu“ knjigu, već je to samo način na koji volim da pričam priče. Humor dolazi prirodno. Uve i Brit-Mari su vremešni ljudi, a takvi karakteri su u vremenu ejdžizma sve ređi. Sve ređe se stariji ljudi biraju za centralne likove. Kao da je danas zabranjeno biti star… Da li vaši romani stoga kazuju da se ne treba bojati starosti? Da li je to početna pozicija u pisanju tih likova? – Ne, zapravo nije. Ja samo mislim da ljudi mojih godina nisu mnogo interesantni. Sve češće mislim da su ljudi stariji od 55 godina ili mlađi od 10 godina najbolji za pripovedače. Kako pišete? Kako izgleda vaš proces rada? Da li imate određeno vreme u kojem radite ili ne pišete planski? – I čitam i pišem kad god imam šansu za to, to mi nikada nije dosadno da radim, u tome uživam više nego u bilo čemu drugom na svetu. Ali s obzirom na to da sam se oženio i dobio decu, naravno da sammorao malo drugačije da se organizujem, tako da pišem najviše dok su klinci u školi. Obično to drugima objašnjavam sa „pišem danju, a razmišljam noću“. U Stokholmu delim kancelariju sa Niklasom Natom o Dagom, koji je takođe pisac i koji je napisao roman 1793, između ostalog. Tu kancelariju delimo već devet godina i to dosta dobro funkcioniše. U kreativnom smislu mnogo znači biti u društvu i biti u mogućnosti da sa nekim drugim pričaš o svom pisanju i pričama, osim sa samim sobom. Tako je mnogo mojih dela zapravo nastalo. Da li ćete u buduće promeniti kurs i pokušati da napišete krimić? Da li čitate tu vrstu literature i šta mislite o tom fenomenu? Da li volite ili ne radove pisaca krimića? –Gajimveliko poštovanje prema žanru krimića imnogi moji dobri prijatelji pišu u tom žanru. Ja ne pišem jer to zaista nije moja oblast, više sam zainteresovan za drame međuljudskih odnosa. Međutim, kada je reč o čitanju, među romanima u kojima uživamsu najčešće oni koji ne pripadaju jednom žanru, već su mešavina više njih. Romani Niklasa Nata o Daga su dobar primer jer su na izvestan način krimići, ali su takođe sjajna istorijska kcija, smeštena u Stokholm 18. veka. To će me uvek više zainteresovati. U osnovi, uvek ću pročitati bilo šta kada osećam snažnu vezu sa likovima i kada osećam da je i pisac bio snažno vezan za njih. Volim onaj citat autora Grenta Morisona koji kaže: „Ako plačeš dok čitaš nešto, to je produžetak nečijeg plača dok je to pisao.“ Kada već govorimo o citatima, u jednom delu vaše knjige vi kažete da „kad se ljudski mozak isključi, prođe mnogo vremena dok telo to ne sazna.“ Pitanje – da li je ljudski mozak beskrajna jednačina koju nikada nećemo rešiti? Da li će čovečanstvo okončati kada razotkrijemo sve tajne mozga? –Da, slažemseda jemozak jednaodnajvećihmisterija. Ali nisamdovoljno pametan da odgovorimna ovo pitanje. Ljudi mojih godina nisu mnogo interesantni. Sve češćemislimda su ljudi stariji od 55 godina ili mlađi od 10 godina najbolji za pripovedače / People my own age are not very interesting. I feel most often that people over the age of 55 or under the age of 10 are the best for storytellers
