How far can a man who has faced absolute evil go to avoid collapsing, to overcome his suffering, and to look to the future again? The Swimmer recounts the extraordinary destiny of Alfred Nakache. Born in Constantine, he quickly became French and European champion before setting a world record. This top-level athlete was selected to represent France at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and then at the 1948 London Games; but in between, he faced the ultimate ordeal of a lifetime. Denounced by a rival as a Jew and a member of the Resistance to the Toulouse Gestapo, he was deported with his young wife, Paule, and their little girl, Annie.

Ahead of Lars Svendsen's visit to Zagreb on April 14th, the book of April is On Stupidity, Idiocy and Stupid Idiots (2nd updated edition).
Are we about to enter a golden age of stupidity? And will artificial intelligence make us think less? None of us are immune to stupidity and idiocy, but help is available. Lars Fr. H. Svendsen is witty and lucid as he delves into the history of the philosophy of stupidity and idiocy. What characterizes someone who thinks stupidly? And what does it mean that someone acts like an idiot? The book is about self-reflection and one's own thinking habits and ways of looking at things. He makes the reader aware not only of other people's stupidity, but also of his own tendency to jump to conclusions, narrow-mindedness and stubbornness. And underneath that lies seriousness. Because what if we don't distinguish clear arguments from stupidity and idiocy? Then we lose our footing in reality. On Stupidity, Idiocy and Stupid Idiots will be Svendsen's twelfth book translated into Croatian.
You can buy the book this month via our webshop at a promotional price!
