The Shanghai publisher has published another book by Milorad Pavic in Chinese. It's a love story called "A Fish Skin Hat." This title was published in 1996 by Draganić.
For his book Milorad Pavić says: "The love story of The fish skin hat takes place in the third century AD. Christianity is not yet accepted. My question in that book is what happens to lovers if one of them can see the future and the other can't see what's going to happen tomorrow? This was the case with many lovers and families in Yugoslavia during that last war."
"Fish Skin Hat" has so far been translated into French, Russian, Mongolian, Greek and Chinese.

Život je, kaže, posvetila književniku i akademiku SANU Miloradu Paviću. I danas, kad ga nema već 14 godina, ona brine o svemu što se tiče njegovog lika i dela. Njihov brak je od prvog dana intrigirao javnost, pre svega zbog tridesetogdišnje razlike u godinama. Ona s tim nije imala problem. Naprotiv. Pa tako i sada o svemu što je doživela govori bez zadrške

The French digital (e-book) publisher "Flora" has published for the first time a French version of the famous Khazar dictionary in interactive form, as it was designed forty years ago, when there was no computer, by Milorad Pavic. The reader will be able to simply click to move from one story to another, from one character to another, scrolling through this book that is an enigma.
The Khazar dictionary with linked terms can only now, thanks to technology, be read as Milorad Pavić wanted: that the book does not have to be read linearly from beginning to end, but the reader himself can choose the path of his reading; he can "collect" characters and epochs and thus actually make his own endless book without a classical beginning and end.
Many decades ago, world literary critics declared the Dictionary of the Khazars the first book of the 21st century.
The novel is located at this address, LINK1, LINK 2 while the trailer can be seen at Promo

Voici, pour la première fois, la version française du fameux Dictionnaire khazar sous la forme interactive telle que son auteur, Milorad Pavić,l'avait conçue il y a quarante ans. Aussi, le lecteur pourra, par un simple clic, passer d'une histoire à l'autre, d'un personnage à l'autre, parcourant ce livre qui est une énigme et qui vient, dit-on, du fond des âges. On dit même qu'il a été dicté par des perroquets, qu'il est passé entre les mains de cent mages et autant d'érudits, qu'il a des dizaines d'auteurs et change même parfois de sexe.
Milorad Pavić entraîne son lecteur à la découverte des chasseurs de rêves, du diable iconographe Sevast Nikon, des maçons de la musique qui taillaient d'énormes blocs de sel sur lesquels jouaient les vents, de la princesse Ateh qui se réveillait chaque matin avec un visage nouveau.
Le Dictionnaire khazar est un livre magique et envoûtant. Tout comme les Khazars, ce peuple mystérieux qui vécut à l'embouchure de la Volga sur la mer Caspienne. Leur royaume fut anéanti par les Russes vers l'an 965 de notre ère.
Mais les Khazars sont passés à la postérité par un événement extraordinaire : le renoncement collectif à leur antique religion et leur conversion à une des trois grandes religions du Livre. La légende rapporte que le roi des Khazars mit les trois croyances en compétition dans une audience ouverte à leurs représentants respectifs : un rabbin, un moine et un derviche. La légende ne dit pas qui l'a emporté. Ce qui est certain, c'est que le peuple khazar disparut de l'Histoire peu après sa conversion. Milorad Pavić, l'auteur génial du Dictionnaire Khazar, pense qu'un rêve du roi des Khazars est d'ailleurs à l'origine de cette tragédie. Un rêve dans lequel un ange lui serait apparu pour lui dire :
Tes intentions plaisent au Seigneur mais pas tes actes !

U Banja Luci je izvedena kamerna opera kompozitora Davida Mastikose, po motivima teksta „Višnja sa zlatnom košticom“ Milorada Pavića.

Milorad Pavić bio je pesnik, literata, istoričar književnosti, kulture uopšte, univerzitetski profesor, prevodilac i akademik. Njegovo delo "Hazarski rečnik - roman-leksikon u 100.000 reči" otvorilo je put srpske književnosti u svetu. Takođe iz njegovog pera nastala su kultna dela "Predeo slikan čajem", "Poslednja ljubav u Carigradu", "Gvozdena zavesa", "Konji Svetog Marka".
Pisao je bajkovito, preplićući mitove, predanja, realne i sasvim izmaštane istorijske ili pseudoistorijske izvore. Reditelj Dragan Marinković ekranizovao je njegov roman "Vedžvudov pribor za čaj" 1993. godine kao film "Vizantijsko plavo", a "Hazarski rečnik" oživele su kultne evropske pozorišne trupe izvodeći ga kao predstavu i balet u Belgiji i Danskoj. Pavićevi tekstovi poslužili su i za izradu stripova.
