Zdravko Zima: The Vltava Gondolier

Gondolijer na Vltavi.
Feljtoni.

"Nova knjiga feljtona Zdravka Zime Gondolijer na Vltavi već svojim naslovom određuje i teme i dileme kojima se autor bavi. Zdravko Zima u svojim feljtonima iznimnom erudicijom i lakim perom spaja naizgled nemoguće – književnost i nogomet, politiku i glazbu, televiziju i povijest. Zbirka feljtona Gondolijer na Vltavi štivo je koje, bez sumnje, pokazuje kako je i danas moguće pisati ozbiljno, bez senzacionalizma o svim temama, a Zdravko Zima se i ovom svojom knjigom pokazuje kao gotovo jedini autor koji u novinskom feljtonu, tom najživljem žanru, uspijeva produbiti i proširiti najbolje stranice hrvatskog feljtonizma od Antuna Gustava Matoša do Veselka Tenžere. Zdravko Zima istovremeno je i pronicljiv analitičar naše svakidašnjice i kozer koji u svojim feljtonima ostvaruje i probuđuje izgubljeni duh Srednje Europe i Mediterana, koji tako volimo prizivati."
