Books
Mansarda’s books are created where literature, dedicated editorial work, illustration and design come together. We choose them carefully – with the desire to rediscover, edit and present in a new way manuscripts that deserve a second life.
We shape each book as a complete work in which the text remains at the centre, while the editorial approach and distinctive visual language give it a new face. We select authorial voices, themes and stories with lasting value and the ability to connect different generations of readers. Mansarda’s publishing line of books was launched with two poetry collections by Vitomir Vito Nikolić – Drumovi će poželjet ludaka and Kletva.

Kletva – Vitomir Vito Nikolić
0€ 20,00 incl. VATKletva by Vitomir Vito Nikolić is the second modern poetry collection by one of Montenegro’s most beloved poets and a continuation of the edition Drumovi će poželjet ludaka.
Published on 27 April 2026, Vito’s birthday, Kletva brings together poems that were not included in the first collection and, together with it, completes the presentation of his poetic oeuvre. The pages of the book follow the arc of life – from birth to its end. Not as a chronology, but as an experience woven from warmth and irony, tenderness and bitterness, laughter and pain, all characteristic of Vito’s poetry.
The edition opens with two original texts dedicated to Vito and his poetic legacy – “Grom u naše duše” by Danica Nikolić and “Trag” by Adrijana Husić – introducing the reader to the collection and the story behind this edition.
The poems are accompanied by specially commissioned illustrations by Monika Lang, creating a contemporary edition that preserves the authenticity of Vito’s verses while bringing them closer to new generations of readers.
