Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

There are still places in the Adriatic where old fishermen mend their nets in silence. Places where the wine is cheap, the fish is fresh, and nobody cares what you do for a living. Places where an anchor holds better than most modern relationships.This book is about those places.Over years of sailing the Adriatic coast, Sasa Fegic collected stories from hidden bays, forgotten islands, weather-beaten harbors, beach bars, family-run konobas, and the men who seem to have quietly disappeared there from the rest of the world.Some are fishermen. Some are sailors. Some are running from something. Some are simply looking for a quieter life.All of them have a story.Part travel memoir, part sailing adventure, part collection of harbor tales, Stories from the Adriatic: Anchorages for Lost Men takes readers from Istria to Dubrovnik through storms, broken engines, dragged anchors, unexpected friendships, unforgettable meals, too much rum, and the endless search for one more perfect anchorage.This is not a guidebook.You won't find star ratings, sponsored recommendations, or lists of "must-see attractions."Instead, you'll find the Adriatic as it really is: beautiful, unpredictable, occasionally frustrating, often hilarious, and filled with characters who could never exist anywhere except beside the sea.Perfect for readers who enjoy: - Sailing and seamanship- Travel memoirs- Maritime adventure- Adriatic and Mediterranean travel- Hidden places and local culture- Stories of fishermen, sailors, and island lifeWhether you are a sailor, traveler, dreamer, or simply someone who enjoys stories about people and places that still feel real, this book offers a voyage through one of the world's most remarkable coastlines.Cast off the lines. Pour a drink. The Adriatic is waiting.
