A Mini Novel With Vocabulary Section for Learning Croatian, Level Beginners A1 = Novice Mid/High

The Extraordinary Challenge / Izuzetni izazov

In a funny, amusing and satirical way Monika tells about herself: she is passionate, perceptive and quick-witted, but all of these qualities are basically not what she needs to help her in her job as executive secretary in a small company in Vienna run by a self-overrated boss. That Monika also has bad luck in love relationships is somehow to be expected – even with her newest heart flame, a Chinese, the relationship is anything but average. The special thing about this book, written with a great deal of humor and unaffectedness, is that it is written in the form of a diary and the protagonist, Monika D., comments on everything in direct speech, as if the reader were sitting next to her. The captivating honesty and the innovative writing approach are what make the book so appealing and promise the reader an enjoyable reading experience. The novel "What I Wanted to Tell You" is based on the play "Glück auf, Ausländer!" (Good Luck, Foreigners!). The play was awarded in 2008 by the "Exil Dramatikerpreis" of the Wiener Wortstätten and the Exil Verein in Austria. Afterwards, the play was premiered at Theater Akzent in Vienna and published as a novel in German as well as in Croatian as reading material for Croatian language learners. The English translation of the novel is long-awaited release for English-speaking audience.
