pohvala


Definition from own experience or research:
(izdavačeva) pohvala (na omotaču knjige)

Example sentence(s):
  • Pohvala je izdavačeva preporuka knjige koja se nalazi na koricama knjige. - Rečnik angloameričkog slenga 

Explanation:
Primer preporuke (uzeto sa sajta izdavačke kuće Laguna http://www.laguna.rs/index.php?m=naslov&id=448):

Ovaj snažan debitantski roman… pripoveda o žestokoj okrutnosti i žestokoj ljubavi koja iskupljuje. Oboje menjaju život Amiru, mladom i bogatom pripovedaču, koji sazreva u poslednjim mirnim danima svoje otadžbine, pre revolucije i upada ruske vojske. Ali politički događaji, čak i oni dramatični poput ovih prikazanih u Lovcu na zmajeve, samo su deo ove priče. U Lovcu na zmajeve Haled Hoseini nam daje živopisnu i životnu priču koja nas podseća na to koliko se njegov narod bori da trijumfuje nad silama nasilja – silama koje mu i danas prete.
