Nagrada Stevan Sremac Jeleni Rosić

Na završnoj sednici žirija za dodelu Nagrade „Stevan Sremac", koja je održana u Beogradu 19. aprila, žiri u sastavu Tijana Spasić, Snežana Božić i Vule Žurić, predsednik, doneo je jednoglasnu odluku da nagradu dobije Jelena Rosić za knjigu priča „Dan kada je Miz Lili postala ono što je oduvek bila", u izdanju beogradskog Arhipelaga.

.

Žiri smatra da zbirka Jelene Rosić nudi originalno narativno uobličenje iskustva susreta s Drugim, koje je uvek i susret sa sopstvenim dubinama i ponorima. Te veze spoljašnjeg i unutrašnjeg, prošlog i budućeg, u pojedincu i svetu koji ga okružuje, najčešće nije lako dokučiti i osvestiti. Suptilne spone, koje nenametljivo funkcionišu među pričama ove zbirke, kao da to potvrđuju.

U užem izboru za nagradu našli su se i romani Svetislava Basare Dugovečnost (Laguna) i Branka Anđića „Play back"(Agora), a na završnoj sednici rasprsavljano je o Basarinom romanu i o knjizi priča Jelene Rosić.

Nakon zanimljive rasprave članovi žirija su se jednoglasno opredelili da ovogodišnji laureat bude Jelena Rosić.

Inače, žiri je ove godine razmatrao preko 70 prispelih romana i zbirki priča.

Nagradu „Stevan Sremac" dodeljuje Niški kulturni centar, a finansira Grad Niš i Ministarstvo kulture Republike Srbije. Nagradu čini plaketa i novčani iznos.

Nagrada će dobitnici biti uručena u maju, tokom trajanja manifestacije „Dani Stevana Sremca", koja se tradicionalno održava u Nišu.

Publishing

Christ - The Alpha and Omega

The Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Western America is pleased to announce the publication of an outstanding book by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich, a disciple of the great twentieth-century theologian Archimandrite Justin Popovich. Bishop Athanasius' thought combines adherence to the teachings of the Church Fathers with a vibrant faith and a profound experience of Christ in the Church.

Christ - The Alpha and Omega is the first of a planned collection of works of contemporary Serbian theologians. It is an anthology of Bishop Athanasius' articles which have appeared in Serbian, Greek, French, English and Russian. Focusing on themes central to Christian patristic Triadology, Ecclesiology and Anthropology, the book reveals the ultimate purpose of man and the universe, and speaks of how each of us can realize this purpose within the divine-human community of the Orthodox Church. Bishop Athanasius reminds us that the God-man Jesus Christ is the Beginning and the End of all things, and that we must seek our own end, goal, and fulfillment in Him.
