A guidebook to the wild world of communist minimalism in Tito's Yugoslavia

Spomenik--the Serbo-Croat/Slovenian word for monument--refers to the memorials built in Tito's Republic of Yugoslavia from the 1960s to the 1980s, marking the horror of the occupation and the defeat of Axis forces during World War II. Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward-looking socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged. Instead of looking to the ideologically aligned Soviet Union for artistic inspiration, Tito turned to the West and works of abstract expressionism and minimalism. This allowed Yugoslavia to develop its own distinct identity through the monuments, turning them into political tools, articulating Tito's personal vision of a new tomorrow.

Today, following the breakup of the country and the subsequent Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, some have been destroyed or abandoned. Many have suffered the consequences of ethnic tensions: once viewed as symbols of hope, they are now the focus of resentment and anger.

This book brings together the largest collection of spomeniks published to date. Each has been extensively photographed and researched by the author, making this book the most comprehensive survey of this obscure and fascinating architectural phenomenon. The inside of the book's dust jacket opens out as a map, giving the exact geographic coordinates for each monument.

Only a bottom sheet
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
I purchased this sheet, assuming it was a set of sheets, and after I received the order, I realized it was only the fitted bottom sheet. Since I was looking for a full set, I returned it. It seemed to be good quality and was soft to the touch.

Love this sheet!
Color: Olive Green, Size: Queen
Love this fitted sheet! It keeps me cool at night, no sweating. I spilled water on it and it dried quickly (moisture wicking), so that was proof it does what it says. Definitely buy more!

Highly recommend for excellent quality at an affordable price
Color: White, Size: Queen
I usually buy my bed sheets from high end bedding stores, but I decided to give these a try because of high reviews and the sale. I am not disappointed. These sheets are high quality Egyptian cotton with attention to details. They have deep pockets, are very soft, thick cotton and wash and dry nicely with very little lint in the dryer screen.

Very soft and comfortable
Color: White, Size: King
Was unsure how comfortable they would be with lower than expected thread count, but these sheets don’t disappoint. King size fitted sheet is a little big for our mattress, but we just tuck the excess in.
