Poslije putovanja željeznicom iz Beča do povijesne željezničke postaje u obližnjem mjestu Matulji, kratak put do Opatije prelazila je austrijska aristokracija kočijom. Tako kako je bilo prije više od stoljeća, bilo je i sredinom lipnja ove godine – iako nije poznato odakle su došli i koliko su dugo putovali, gosti su se zaustavili na lokalnoj željezničkoj postaji - one u krinolinama i sa suncobranima koji štite njihovu bijelu put, oni u frakovima i sa cilindrima. Sa terasa starih ili nešto novijih pa i najnovijih - upravo obnovljenih i otvorenih – opatijskih kavana čula se romantična glazba starih glazbenih majstora. Kavu i kolače spravljene po starim receptima posluživali su konobari u nekadašnjim ugostiteljskim uniformama. Šetnja obalnim šetalištem, zaustavljanje radi fotografiranja u društvu znatiželjnih turista, vožnja kočijom sa konjskom zapregom ili put u prošlost na starim slikama, markama pa i za ovu prigodu posebno odjeveni poštari … neke su stare opatijske razglednice ponovno oživjele i podsjetile na tradiciju negdašnjeg zimovališta i ljetovališta austro-ugarske aristokracije. Štoviše, u opatijskim restoranima moglo se naručiti jela “preslikana” iz starih austro-ugarskih jelovnika od kojih će neka ostati dio turističke ponude Opatije. | Translation - English
Alighting from a train from Vienna in the small town of Matulji, a group of elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen continued their trip to Opatija in a horse-drawn carriage. In mid-June this year, Opatija saw a re-enactment of this journey from a bygone era, complete with ladies in crinolines and parasols shading their pale faces, and gentlemen in tails and top hats. Sweet old-fashioned melodies played softly from all terraces in town. Waiters in vintage uniforms served traditional coffee and cakes. A stroll by the sea, stopping for photographs surrounded by curious tourists, a ride in an open horse-drawn carriage, a walk down memory lane evoked by old postcards and stamps, delivered by formally dressed postmen... A gallery of withered postcards revived for a moment the olden days, when Opatija was a beloved holiday destination for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. Restaurants served food copied from old Austro-Hungarian menus, some of which will remain part of Opatija's tourist offer. | | English to Croatian: Sample EN-HR | Source text - English
The summer she was fifteen, Melanie discovered she was made of flesh and blood. O, my America, my new found land. She embarked on a tranced voyage, eploring the whole of herself, clambering her own mountain ranges, penetrating the moist richness of her secret valleys, a physiological Cortez, da Gama or Mungo Park. For hours she stared at herself, naked, in the mirror of her wardrobe; she would follow with her finger the elegant structure of her rib-cage, where the heart fluttered under the flesh like a bird under a blanket, and she would draw down the long line from breast-bone to navel (which was a mysterious cavern or grotto), and she would rasp her palms against her bud-wing shoulderblades. And then she would writhe about, clasping herself, laughing, sometimes doing cartwheels and handstands out of sheer exhilaration at the supple surprise of herself now she was no longer a little girl. | Translation - Croatian
Toga ljeta kad je navršila petnaestu, Melanie je otkrila da je od krvi i mesa. – O Ameriko moja, moja novootkrivena zemljo! – U ekstatičnom je raspoloženju krenula na putovanje istražujući se cijelu, penjući se na vlastite planinske lance, ponirući u vlažnu raskoš svojih tajnih dolina, fiziološki Cortes, da Gama ili Mungo Park. Satima bi se promatrala u zrcalu ormara, pratila prstom elegantnu strukturu grudnog koša, u kojem je pod kožom srce poskakivalo poput ptice pod pokrivačem, ili bi povlačila dugačke linije od grudne kosti do pupka (koji je bio tajanstvena špilja ili grotto) i dlanovima pokušavala dosegnuti mlade lopatice nalik pupovima. Počela bi se izvijati, grleći se, smijući se, katkad izvodeći zvijezdu ili stoj na rukama, čisto iz iznenadnog oduševljenja zbog vlastite gipkosti, sada kad više nije malena djevojčica. |
