On June 4th 2003 was held, at Maison de la Méditerranée, the ceremony for the Mediterranean Award "Silver Dolphin 2003” to the memory of Izet Sarajlic'.
The Awards were received by Sarajlić’s daughter Tamara with her son Vladimir. Among those present were the ambassador of Bosnia-Herzegovina to Italy, the Mayor of Sarajevo, writers and intellectuals, friends of Sarajlić.
During the meeting, were read some poems of the two authors and were distributed the volumes Il libro degli addii, a collection of poems by Izet Sarajlić, published by Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo.
Raffaele La Capria started his long itinerary as a novelist in the 50s, in a century characterized by poor reason and great ferocity. His work can be divided into three periods, reaching its end, but not its aim, during the 70s. An aim which is also suggested by his paper flowers opening to the reader’s eyes just as the Japanese paper flowers open to water. This “tryptic” of novels matches with an ideal “tryptic” of essays and reflections which illuminate the characters, the author, a whole generation and the mythical city where the Mediterranean brightness was switched off by another tragedy. La Capria’s work, a long meditation on the opportunity lost by the individual and by history, is a symbol of the Mediterranean which, from one failure to another, tragically builds its own present.
