The new book by Ljubica Arsić, "Naked and Dressed" (published by Agora), offers a unique interpretation of some of the most significant literary works by analyzing how authors "dress" their characters. Characters from Flaubert, Tolstoy, Gogol, Proust, Andrić, Nabokov, Hemingway, as well as those by Tennessee Williams, Colette, and many others, wear clothes as a character trait, a hint, a premonition, an atmosphere of the work and their literary era; through their clothing, writers actually strip them bare in terms of character. At the same time, Ljubica Arsić analyzes contemporary phenomena related to dressing, the human body, and eroticism. She also provides insights into the history of fashion details and accessories, such as gloves, trousers, uniforms, jeans, shoes, sexy underwear, and even the history of colors.
