Originalno štivo o bezvremenskoj ljepoti i profinjenosti. Probudit će u vama Oscara Wildea. Kraljev gambit Dalibora Jakusa nekonvencionalna je i originalna zbirka kratkih priča u kojima autor iznosi svoje impresije svijeta. Ova smjela kombinacija dnevničkih zapisa i eseja proizašlih iz njegova bloga nadopunjena je visoko estetiziranim fotografijama i ilustracijama, a svojom formom i melodičnošću podsjeća na poeziju u prozi. Autorov je jezik osoban, barokno raskošan i flambojantan, nimalo nalik onome klasičnih dnevničkih rukopisa. Umješno se poigrava globalnim trendovima samoaktualizacije, kreativnog i kolektivnog breakdowna te današnjom pozicijom pisca, inspirirajući se književnim autsajderima i boemskim pripadnicima beat-generacije. Dalibor Jakus diplomirao je entomologiju na Sveučilištu u Zagrebu gdje potom pohađa poslijediplomski studij odnosa s javnošću. Stekavši iskustvo u prestižnim marketinškim i PR agencijama, otisnuo se u samostalne vode kao specijalist za odnose s javnošću i medije. Poglavito se bavi projektima iz područja animacije, filmske industrije, kazališta i nezavisnih izvedbenih umjetnosti. Urednik je bloga, autor brojnih stručnih i novinskih članaka na temu odnosa s javnošću, kulture i novih medija, te predavač komunikacija i menadžmenta u kulturi. ____________________________________________________ An original read on timeless beauty and refinement. To awaken your inner Oscar Wilde. King's Gambit by Dalibor Jakus is an unconventional and original collection of short stories in which the author expounds his impressions of the world. A daring combination of diary entries and essays stemming from his blog has been complemented by highly aestheticised photographs and illustrations, and its form and melody reminisce of poetry in prose. The author's language is personal, baroquely lavish and flamboyant, not in the slightest similar to classic diary manuscripts. He adeptly toys with the global trends of self-actualisation, creative and collective breakdown and the modern-day position of a writer, taking inspiration from literary outsiders and bohemian cornerstones of the Beat generation. Dalibor Jakus graduated with a degree in Entomology from the University of Zagreb, where he subsequently attended a post-graduate course in Public Relations. Having acquired a substantial experience in prestigious marketing and PR agencies, he embarked upon the world of freelancing as a PR and media relations specialist. His chief concern are projects from the field of animation, film industry, theatre and independent performance arts. He is a blog editor, author of many essays and articles about PR, culture and new media, and a lecturer on communications and creative industries management.
