“Piknik kod Henging Roka” available now!

We're overjoyed to present our first publication: Joan Lindsay's mesmerizing masterpiece, Picnic at Hanging Rock, beautifully translated and offered for the first time in Serbian.

Hanging Rock is a volcanic formation about 80 kilometers north of Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia. For tens of thousands of years it was a sacred site for Australian Aborigines, and within that environment Joan Lindsay constructs her dreamlike, enigmatic narrative about the unexplained disappearance of several students and their teacher from a nearby repressive Victorian boarding school.

Since its first publication in 1967, the mythology surrounding the novel has become inseparably linked to the landscape itself. Despite the narrative's openness to various interpretations, including post-colonial readings, recent campaigns have tried to reassociate the place more directly with Aboriginal heritage.

Peter Weir's 1975 film adaptation, often hailed as the greatest Australian film of all time, cemented the place of Picnic at Hanging Rock in Australia's collective cultural imagination.
