‘Neringos kavinė: sugrįžimas į legendą’ (Neringa Jonušaitė ‘Neringa’s Café: Return to the Legend’) (2014, Mažoji leidykla)
The journalist describes perhaps the most famous café that flourished during the Soviet period of the 1960s and 1970s, which had become not only a place to meet and eat, but an exceptional phenomenon in the political context of the time. It was a place where the most famous people from the art, science, and culture scenes gathered to debate in the secret language of Aesop, with banned jazz music playing in the background, which led to constant KGB surveillance.

Until now, there has been no publication covering all the capital’s micro-districts and smaller areas. The gap has been filled by the librarians of Vilnius, who have come up with the idea of producing this book. The topicality of this publication is remarkable. The authors of the book have extensively studied publications on Vilnius and have based the publication on them. The sources of literature for this popular publication have been thoughtfully chosen: articles and books written by eminent specialists, new published research material, and reviews of the most valuable publications have been used. The book is based on the information and resources gathered from various Lithuanian libraries.
This book is sure to help you get to know Vilnius better, and encourage you to take an interest in it and read books. It should encourage researchers of Vilnius to further study the history of the capital’s districts and localities – there is plenty to start from. Electronic publication.
