«Le soldat et le gramophone» is the historical and personal novel by Saša Stanišić, published by Stock in paperback (375 pages, in French).
Aleksandar grows up near Višegrad, in the Yugoslavia of that time, among the stories of his grandfather Slavko. The war pushes him into exile and integration into the Germany of the 1990s. His childlike gaze, focused on family, football and first love, gradually transforms into that of a writer who turns memory into literature.
Originally published in German in 2006 as «Wie der Soldat das Grammofon repariert», the 2008 French edition belongs to the La Cosmopolite collection and was translated by Françoise Toraille.
For readers of historical fiction and contemporary European narrative, with an interest in the Yugoslav war and experiences of exile.
