If I count correctly, a 93-page photo book about Jonava and its region, published in an edition of 1000 copies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Renata Kilinskaite<\/strong> - art critic and photographer.<br \/>\n<strong>A book created by her\u2026<\/strong> Well, to be honest, he didn&#039;t bat an eye.<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s just a photo book that you can probably buy at the Jonava Regional Museum and keep as a souvenir. Read about the history of the Jonava region, draw pictures, give a book to an English speaker.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15236\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/10\/apzvalga-knyga-apie-jonava-kas-as-per-vienas-kad-leidziu-sau-vertinti-kitu-knygas-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/10\/apzvalga-knyga-apie-jonava-kas-as-per-vienas-kad-leidziu-sau-vertinti-kitu-knygas-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/10\/apzvalga-knyga-apie-jonava-kas-as-per-vienas-kad-leidziu-sau-vertinti-kitu-knygas.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Paper, stitching, publishing quality: 9\/10.<\/h3>\n<p>And as, I guess, befits photo books - holding it in your hands is nice and fun. Of course, it doesn&#039;t fit on a shelf because of its unusual format, which a few of my friends wouldn&#039;t like, but that doesn&#039;t bother me.<\/p>\n<p>The paper is good, the photos do not rub off, they are printed neatly! Even fingerprints are faintly visible on the black sheets. Compliments of MB Press House.<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s just a pity that the corners of the book are so sharp. If I were to publish a photo book, I would pay extra to make them round or similar. More exclusive!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Text and translation quality: 4\/10.<\/h3>\n<p>This is a bit disappointing. I understand that the profession of an art critic is not that of a poet or a writer (which, as far as I&#039;ve heard, also live in Jonava, so why didn&#039;t anyone volunteer?), but it was possible to try harder.<\/p>\n<p>Add\u2026 Passions! Fires! Lives of spring or other seasons. Tell it not in the style of an encyclopedia, but in the style of a living story.<\/p>\n<p>This book is not an encyclopedia. This is a book that introduces Jonava. And isn&#039;t Jonava a land of boredom, where there is neither life nor anything going on? Where do the mates go to the local Norf on weekends to buy cheaper sausages and on Mondays\u2026?<\/p>\n<p>I do not believe. Jonava cannot be like that. As I passed by, I got to see and sit for about an hour in a local cafe in the center of Jonava (and also spend two hours interacting with students) - Jonava is a lively region.<\/p>\n<p>The text doesn&#039;t convey that. And reading it makes me feel like I&#039;m reading Wikipedia. One dude did this, and then this happened. Then, in the year XXX, something else happened that does not tell the reader anything.<\/p>\n<p>But never mind, it was quite fun to read.<\/p>\n<h3>Photo quality: 4\/10?<\/h3>\n<p>For a book based on photos from Jonava (or is it a story in text?) this is of quite varied quality. Some are extremely interesting (several interwar archives), others not so much.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#039;t criticize much, because I don&#039;t know much about photos. But a few literally look like they were taken with a 7-year-old phone.<\/p>\n<h2>Would you recommend buying?<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to remind yourself of Jonava or you collect books from all Lithuanian towns - go ahead. If you want to have a piece that will give you deep ideas, maybe invest in something else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I guess I&#039;ll give this book to one of my art critic friends (who herself thinks that, oh, she should publish herself - a living example that it&#039;s possible). Or I will leave it somewhere in the Kaunas &quot;Book House&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>After looking through the pages of Jonava self-government and encyclopedias on the Internet, unfortunately, I did not find something better than this book. So, probably, it will come until the next release.<\/p>\n<h2>And who are you alone? What do you know and have you at least published a better book? Debelila you, not Debesyla!?<\/h2>\n<p>I have received a message after reading (and regretting) a pseudo-scientific book about the laws of the universe, giving it a negative score. That message was full of curses and insults.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this message is the message of a complete mental (or at least social) retard. But there is nothing to blame - this character, even though he wrote eerily, still expressed what I feel every time I review the books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I don&#039;t know how to spell such books.<br \/>\nI don&#039;t know about publishing either.<\/p>\n<p>I have never written works like &quot;Jonava&quot; in my life. To be honest, I wanted to share some of the most interesting facts about Jonav here at the end of the review, but I couldn&#039;t even do that.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#039;t write. At least such works.<\/p>\n<p>...However, I believe that despite my ignorance, I can afford to criticize creations that literally hurt my feelings and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Jonava&quot; by Renata Kilinskait\u0117 was not such a book. This art critic&#039;s book is average, but certainly not bad. And there really isn&#039;t one...<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#039;t published any books yet. But I have the right to criticize because:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1) I realize that I am;<br \/>\n2) I consume the content;<br \/>\n3) I remember.<\/p>\n<p>Put it together and you&#039;ll get it <strong>machine capable of evaluating.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>And who are you to criticize my thoughts? Have you ever done anything better? WELL? ANSWER BLAZE. I&#039;M TOUGH AND YOU&#039;RE A FOOL**S. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING???<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Are you nobody? You didn&#039;t do anything?<\/p>\n<p>*smiles*<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t worry, then tell me what you think. After all, we both don&#039;t know what we&#039;re doing on this piece of rock orbiting the universe. And we can both share our thoughts, whatever they may be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Will you share yours?<\/p>\n<p>smiling,<br \/>\n<strong>Daniel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S\u00a0<\/strong>Anyway, you know, being ignorant and figuring it out is totally fine. Then you don&#039;t have to worry about someone trying to pressure you with &quot;what are you doing&quot; games. You relax, let the screamers scream, and share what you see. With what you feel. By who you are.<\/p>\n<p>Allowing ourselves and others to criticize is perhaps the greatest freedom we can create.<\/p>\n<p>relax<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-size: 0.8em;\">Goal of the day: <a style=\"border: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/issukis-365\/\">696 words<\/a>.
