Aleksandar Krzavac's "Close Your Eyes the Future Has Just Begun" Collection of Aphorisms and Cartoons Makes You Wince as You Smile

(prHWY.com) January 29, 2012 - Belgrade, AZ -- BELGRADE - Aleksandar Krzavac's collection of aphorisms and cartoons, "Close Your Eyes the Future has Just Begun," address virtually all issues that annoy people, no matter whether they are low-ranking clerks and workers or CEOs, prime ministers, and kings. Once readers finish the e-book, their dilemmas disappear.

Within its pages, readers discover the origin of the global crisis and how important the bootlicking force really is, whether it is worth it to trade your soul for money, as well as the disadvantages of broadband Internet in Ancient Greece.

Holder of a University degree in economics, e-book author Aleksandar Krzavac does not object to wasting his time writing aphorisms and drawing cartoons.

Born in 1959 in Belgrade, the former Yugoslavian capital that was then a globally respected communist country, he spent his teenage years and his thirties in what is called in the big West - a Communist dictatorship.

Krzavac has published his aphorisms and cartoons in highly regarded Belgrade newspapers and magazines. He is also the author of the satirical play, "Crazed and Confused," which deals with the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Readers may say, "Why should I read aphorisms and look at a bunch of cartoons? I prefer novels about love affairs, thrillers, or world conspiracies."

"Okay," Krzavac says. "Are 'hard topics novels' something you can read in your office, or enjoying the sun on the beach on a hot summer day, or waiting in a long queue and returning to your main duties without fuzzy ideas in your mind regarding what the next chapter is about?"

He continues, "Each single aphorism or cartoon is a world unto itself. You can stop reading and stop thinking about reading at the same moment and go back to work with a clear mind. That doesn't apply to 'serious' novels."

The e-book is available through retail networks at Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Lulu.

Aphorisms of Aleksandar Krzavac have appeared in the New York Times bestselling author James Geary's website at http://www.jamesgeary.com

On his site, Geary says, "Krzavac's sayings are highly sarcastic, highly political, and highly amusing. 'Most of my almost 2,000 aphorisms are not translatable,' Krzavac says, 'or do not fit the Anglo-Saxon temperament and way of thinking.' The aphorisms that are translatable are well worth a read, and well-suited to every temperament. In these aphorisms, Krzavac turns his clinical, jaundiced eye on the current political/moral/economic state of Serbia. As always with Balkan aphorisms, prepare to wince even as you smile."

(Un)fortunately, the transition to democracy did not leave aphorists without a job. Old themes were substituted with new ones. Every ism desperately needs its critics, even globalism. Namely, people need real, not virtual, democracy. This is only the beginning. For sure, people will learn to rule by the end of this millennium.

Entering "Perfect society" will force many writers to change their careers, since perfection cannot be criticized. Judging by this reality, we still have many years ahead of us to achieve PERFECTION.

Until that point satirists have to write.

A selection of Krzavac's cartoons are published on the Aydin Dogan Vakfi website at http://sanalmuze.aydindoganvakfi.org.tr/Gallery/CaricatureList.aspx?&PID=5761
