On Thursday, April 16th at 8:30 PM, there will be a presentation of the book “LEAVING SANSKI MOST. The war in Bosnia, the escape on foot, Everest by bicycle<\/b>“ <\/b>curated by the authors Sanel Kaltak<\/b> and Ilario Tancon<\/b>.
<\/b><\/p>\n
The book is the biography of Sanel Kaltak, who was born and raised in Sanski Most, Bosnia<\/b>, like all the boys in the world between school, friends, games, and nature. But unlike the others, he is on the brink of the last gasps of the former Yugoslavia<\/b>. <\/p>\n
In 1992, he sees his adolescence swept away by the outbreak of war<\/b>. Sanel and his family experience all the drama: tension and fear, death and destruction, days spent buried at home and nights spent in shelters dug in the woods, until the escape on rickety buses and on foot<\/b> from Sanski Most to Travnik and to Pula. After months spent in Istria as refugees, here comes Italy, in the Belluno Dolomites: first Colle Santa Lucia, then Gosaldo, then La Valle and Agordo. There is a new home, a new school, a new language, new friends. Everything is a challenge for Sanel <\/b>that he faces with enthusiasm and determination in every moment of his existence among different work experiences, eventually becoming an entrepreneur and starting a business (timber trade) that leads him to work intensively with his homeland. <\/p>\n
Sanel tells his story through small scenes, photographs that rediscover the essential moments of his life, and he does so on a summer day in 2020, while cycling during his Everesting<\/b><\/i>, the endurance challenge in which cyclists repeatedly ascend and descend the same hill, until they reach a cumulative height of 8,848 meters, the height of Mount Everest.<\/p>\n
“Leaving Sanski Most. The war in Bosnia, the escape on foot and Everest by bicycle”<\/b> is the summary of many long conversations between the protagonist and Ilario Tancon, who set Sanel’s words to paper, giving shape to a text that offers a dual narrative thread (the challenge of Everesting and the biography) and that addresses those who love contemporary history and those who love bicycles<\/b> but see this marvel of mechanics not so much as a means to achieve athletic performance but as a way to discover small and large stories and get to know the human soul a little more closely.<\/p>\n
