“We recently marked half a century of marriage, a very different kind of marriage, because the life of a hyperactive English teacher and author and of a philosopher hardly fit the typical framework of a regular family life. We `clicked´ in the area of art (we spent a few years painting, visiting world-famous galleries, and in photography) and in classical music and literature (we had both studied German). We pursued all these areas passionately, devoting a great deal of time in them. However, what brought us close together was our joint fascination with the Brijuni Islands which grew deeper and richer each year. We hope you will enjoy this different angle of Veli Brijun, which we, island admirers, have chosen for this book. The island is our second home, at which we have spent about two years over three decades. It has made such a difference to our lives and brought us great excitement. In brief, it has become our paradise. As you probably know, paradise is in the eye of the beholder.”  Višnja & Marijan Anić

When Višnja & Marijan Anić met Manfred II. Mautner Markhof on the island in 2002, they presented him two copies of their first Brijuni book. He handed one over to the Croatian President Mesić and the second to the Austrian President, Dr. Thomas Klestil. “Brijuni through the Camera of an Admirer“ was indirectly dedicated to Paul Kupelwieser – or rather „the courageous visionaries who have his qualities“.
