About

Markowas born in Belgrade, Serbia and grew up in the suburb of Senjak wherehe attended Branko Parac grammar school.When his family moved to Moscowhe continued his education at a Moscow grammar school, together withstudying piano at the music school and attending classes at theYugoslav Embassy. It was on his return from Russia in 1990, whilst atthe Sveti Sava High School, that he first developed a penchant forwriting.

His inspiration for"Writings of a Wretch" came when he spotted one of his grammar schoolteachers minding a booth in a flea market in Belgrade. The realisationwas brought home to him that all was not as it had seemed on thesurface; that often unimaginable misery and hardship could lurk beneatha surface; and that one could never know of the mental suffering whichmay haunt the mind and life of another.

MrVignjevic has two other finished works to his credit: "Spirits andShadows" and "The Premier (Cycle No. 1)", although sadly we understandthat neither of these have as yet been translated into English.

Description

A Jewish woman’s unconventional quest to find Jesus in modern Israel With candor and an intimate knowledge of the Land and its people, Bobbie Ann Cole takes you on some intriguing time travel, such as to the ceremonial slaughtering of Passover lambs in the nearby temple as Jesus died on the cross. Her moving and compellingly-written personal story of making Aliyah to Israel with her husband, Butch effectively interweaves Israel’s ancient and modern history with biblical references. She reveals the challenges that have faced Jewish believers from Peter and Paul on down to the present day, including her own. The underlying antagonism of her beloved Israel towards Messianic Jews leaves her sneaking around, keeping her true identity secret. A blend of memoir, travelogue, historical document and investigative journalism, Love Triangles is not about theological principals; it's about love. Discover: • How Jesus used Jewish festivals to underscore His message. • The story of Jesus’ Bar Mitzvah. • Why Jewish atheists may move to Israel but not believer Jews. • Why Judaism rejects Jesus as Messiah.

Reviews

This is an extremely creative and unusual book. We follow the meandering thoughts and imaginings of a market trader in Belgrade. He poses many deeply philosophical questions on life – his life and others, and life in general, as he strives to be a man of his time and attempts to conjure up a unique moment in his life. I was delighted to see and have the chance to read such an amazingly different book. I cannot praise the author too highly for daring to write a book that is so far removed from the usual genres. This book is certainly not for everyone, as it is entirely different from other fiction or non-fiction writing. It will be interesting to those who think philosophically, who ask and try to answer questions regarding justice and life, and who are interested in psychology. I found this work to be amazing by Mary Mansell – Oxford UK I was enthralled by this book. One could almost say mesmerised from beginning to end. The subject matter was deeply engrossing and thought-provoking, and the writing a pure delight. It is rare to find in modern literature a piece of work that flows along as smoothly and beautifully as this, inciting one to taste and savour every line. To concentrate a whole book around the workings of the inner mind of but one man, is a huge risk to take, but this author succeeded in producing a superbly written, thought-provoking, and cleverly executed piece of writing beyond anything I have come across since the likes of Hardy and Dostoyevsky. For me this book was an absolute joy to read. by Julia Cadwell - Birmingham UK
