Juli Zeh: Silence is a Sound - A Journey Through Bosnia (New Book)
Where does war end, where does peace begin? Juli Zeh's personal travelogue about Bosnia in a new edition. In the summer of 2001, Juli Zeh traveled to Bosnia, accompanied only by her dog. She wanted to see for herself whether "Bosnia-Herzegovina is a place one can travel to. Or whether it disappeared from the face of the earth along with the war reporting." She brought back a compelling travelogue from a country living in a precarious peace, where hatred exists, but life also thrives. She doesn't attempt to distinguish between good and evil, to find explanations; rather, she tells a captivating and often witty story of a country where even silence has a voice. biography Juli Zeh, born in Bonn in 1974, studied law in Passau and Leipzig, specializing in European and international law. She spent extended periods in New York and Krakow. Her novel "Eagles and Angels" (2001) became a worldwide success and has since been translated into 24 languages.
