We recommend reading the book Ocean Sea, by Alessandro Baricco, an excellent Italian writer known in Slovenia for his world-famous bestseller Silk, for several reasons. The simplest is that it would be a shame if this book of stories, which is more than just that, slipped past us unnoticed. Ocean Sea can be read as a stunningly beautiful fairy tale about the Almayer resort, run by children who can read minds and dreams. You can understand it as a hymn to the sea, which has in one way or another marked people and their destinies. Seven Rooms for a series of unusual stories about a painter, a scientist, an adulteress, a girl who wants to live, a priest and a mysterious man is read so that you can hear the sea! This is also a reason to read Baricco's best work, which has been translated into more than 25 languages.
