Fraenkischer Sonntag About Atlas of Prejudice

“With such maps, which only have the disadvantage of being male dominated, Tsvetkov impressively lures us into our own trap, because our nod of approval of the dumb prejudices of the US Republicans depicts an even dumber prejudice in itself.

Entertainment, fun and outright honesty, this is what we are presented by the designer and confessed cosmopolit, who was born in Bulgaria and lives in Spain. His trenchant, witty texts complement the 39 World, European and country maps effectively: prejudices, as far as the eye can see, from the dawn of history when a bunch of people started to differentiate themselves from the rest.”

Gabriel Garcia Marquez with One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Not only am I lucky having the best publisher in the world but now my book has its own trailer, made by Laura Kroschewski, a very, very talented girl from Germany, who studies Visual Communications at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach! I was delighted by the fact that she chose my book as the theme of her semestrial exam work in Illustration and our collaboration was a real pleasure. It also reminded me on my own years as a student, when it was me who was the one looking for interesting themes. I know that’s not easy an I want to make sure that she knows how grateful I am to her for sharing her talent with me! Danke schön, Laura!
