THE WORD OF THE EDITRESS

Dear readers,

You have before you the forty second issue of the magazine “Tačke culture” and, at the same time, the last issue of this year.

In this issue, you will read about the activities of the Montenegro Library for Persons with Visual Impairments, as well as about new publications in Braille.

You will also read interesting facts about famous writers and about who the writers actually are outside of their works.

You will also find out which ten books the New York Times declared to be the best in 2024.

In this issue, you can read about how chess, which is appropriately called the “royal game”, was created, as well as about the most successful and best-selling fantasy books.

In anticipation of the New Year, we have prepared a text for you about how many New Years there are in the world. Celebrations are very similar; they are everywhere made up of religious elements that call for a happy and prosperous New Year.

There is also a special section for lovers of enigmatic, and in the Recipes section – a recipe for the original, real Dubai chocolate, which everyone says is the most beautiful in the world.

We hope that you will find a handful of interesting and amusing texts in this issue as well, and that you will enjoy reading it.

And we still invite you to write to us at tackekulture@gmail.com

Until the next issue, we warmly greet you and wish you a happy and successful New Year and the upcoming holidays.

Let’s hang out again next year.

Ana Đurović, editress
