This grand novel encompasses nearly all of Yugoslavia's tumultuous twentieth century, from the decline of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires through two world wars, the rise and fall of communism, the breakup of the nation, and the terror of the shelling of Dubrovnik. Tackling universal themes on a human scale, master storyteller Miljenko Jergovic traces one Yugoslavian family's tale as history irresistibly casts the fates of five generations. What is it to live a life whose circumstances are driven by history? Jergovic investigates the experiences of a compelling heroine, Regina Delavale, and her many family members and neighbors. Telling Regina's story in reverse chronology, the author proceeds from her final days in 2002 to her birth in 1905, encountering along the way such traumas as atrocities committed by Nazi Ustashe Croats and the death of Tito. Lyrically written and unhesitatingly told, The Walnut Mansion may be read as an allegory of the tragedy of Yugoslavia's tormented twentieth century.--Provided by publisher.

Reginas Geschichte spiegelt die wechselhafte Geschichte des Westbalkans im 20. Jahrhundert wieder, die zahlreichen, lose zusammengefügten Episoden geben tiefe Einblicke in die Seele des Balkans und das Leben seiner Bewohner im 20. Jahrhundert.
Dem Autor gelingt es eindrucksvoll viele Geschichten in einer Großen zusammenfassen, ohne dass dem Leser auch nur einmal langweilig wird oder der rückwärtsgewandte Handlungsfluss gestört scheint. "Das Walnusshaus" ist ein Meisterwerk und absolutes Muss für jeden, der Interesse am Westbalkan hat. ( )
