Showing the single result
A retrospective journey through time, a graceful and simultaneously stochastic recall of events, faces, and moments from Olga Sella’s twenty-year trip in the press field. The author gets dazzled, fascinated, and tested, strives, and gets discouraged, demystified, and matures in the exciting but demanding and often restive environment of a newspaper. And she observes, with all her senses alert, the complex and sensitive area of culture, to find the balance between the event, its background, its overt and covert intentions, and to capture, behind the surface, the essence of the work and the contribution of its people.
