A guidebook to the wild world of communist minimalism in Tito's Yugoslavia

Spomenik--the Serbo-Croat/Slovenian word for monument--refers to the memorials built in Tito's Republic of Yugoslavia from the 1960s to the 1980s, marking the horror of the occupation and the defeat of Axis forces during World War II. Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward-looking socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged. Instead of looking to the ideologically aligned Soviet Union for artistic inspiration, Tito turned to the West and works of abstract expressionism and minimalism. This allowed Yugoslavia to develop its own distinct identity through the monuments, turning them into political tools, articulating Tito's personal vision of a new tomorrow.

Today, following the breakup of the country and the subsequent Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, some have been destroyed or abandoned. Many have suffered the consequences of ethnic tensions: once viewed as symbols of hope, they are now the focus of resentment and anger.

This book brings together the largest collection of spomeniks published to date. Each has been extensively photographed and researched by the author, making this book the most comprehensive survey of this obscure and fascinating architectural phenomenon. The inside of the book's dust jacket opens out as a map, giving the exact geographic coordinates for each monument.

Snuggled up writing this review!
I love the weight, and puff to this lovely comforter! It does keep me warm, and I have NOT noticed any noise.. I'm not sure what others were talking about about. I love how soft but well made this is made! I recommend this if you're looking to dip your toes into a down comforter ...or just want to feel luxurious!

Disappointed at first
When comforter arrived in vacuum sealed bag and didn't "fluff" after 24 hours on guest bed, I put it in dryer on refresh. Still not kind of loft I expected. I put a duvet on it and used it. What a great surprise. It is so warm and now very fluffy. For the Price point of this comforter, I highly recommend it.

Very nice but….
I love the softness, quality, and feel of the product (feels crispy?? Not sure that’s the right word but it’s good). The comforter has a tiny bit of noise but I wasn’t bothered. Now… I am a huge fan of fluffiness and this just quite didn’t get as fluffy as I had hoped (compared to my other one) so I deducted one star. I kept shaking and fluffing and finally I put in the dryer. First I put on low tumble as suggested and that did absolutely nothing. So then I put another time in the dryer at regular heat and that helped some. I suspect ( but don’t know yet) this could fill out with time. So I will keep the item and we’ll see if I buy another one. I love to put down comforters in my guest rooms so my guests feel like they’re in a hotel on vacation. It’s my treat to friends/family.

Very, very comfortable and perfect weight.
It is a wonderful comforter, takes about ten days for it to fluff back to normal after shipping. I have not slept so go in months.
