Bosnian writer Muhamed Mahmutović publishes new book 'The Moon Has Revealed the Secret'

(Patria) - A new book by renowned Bosnian writer Muhamed Mahmutović, "The Moon Has Revealed the Secret", recently came off the press.

Mahmutović wrote the book for "Lava", the largest publisher in Sweden, and it is already being translated into three foreign languages.

However, he certainly wanted to have it printed in Bosnian as well, which he decided to do in cooperation with "Dobra knjiga", where director Izedin Šikalo handed him the first copies.

This is the tenth book by Muhamed Mahmutović, and all of them have been translated into foreign languages and have seen multiple editions.

In a review of the book for the Bosnian language edition, academician Ferid Muhić, among other things, says:

"...The incredible talent of the top writer Muhamed Mahmutović, developed through decades of experience as a freelance journalist, to find the right characters for the right story, has culminated this time.

Sven Jansson and Ferko (Ferid) Šantić represent the epitomized dream of every writer of this genre. They are authentic, living characters, who, with their extraordinary life stories, put to the test all the most important and best qualities of an author who aspires to write a top literary work.

Provocative, inspiring, suspenseful, intellectually and morally engaged, historically instructive, aesthetically convincing and, on top of all that – true! Who could ask for more? And who can do it?

...When you read it and close its covers in your lap, a part of recent and contemporary history, architecture, but also the topography of Scandinavia, the United States of America and the Balkans, evoked through the characters of this extraordinary story about hunger and justice, about love and nobility, appears before you for a long time and clearly, like a scene illuminated by the light of a full moon, a silent lighthouse on the border of transience and eternity."
