Isidora Sekulić was a famous Serbian prose writer, novelist, essayist, adventurer, polyglot and art critic. Sekulić's lyrical, meditative, introspective and analytical writings come at the dawn of Serbian prose writing. Sekulić is concerned with the human condition of man in his new, thoroughly modern sensibility. In her main novel, The Chronicle of a Small Town Cemetery (Кроника паланачког гробља), she writes in opposition to the usual chronological development of events. Instead, each part of the book begins in the cemetery, eventually returning to the time of bustling life, with all its joys and tragedies. Characters such as Gospa Nola, are the first strong female characters in Serbian literature, painted in detail in all their courage, ...more

Quotes by Isidora Sekulić (?)

“Čovečja je priroda nemonaška. Jer je priroda uopšte nemonaška. Priroda je nestalnost i zaborav i preziranje zakletvi. Priroda je strast koja se slučajem pali i gasi. Priroda je neprekidna promena. Zato dugotrajne žrtve i savlađivanja postaju obične pojave, brišu se iz reda visokih tekovina ljudskih. Zato čovek, čovek kao priroda, želi na poprištu borbe herija ili martira. Drugim rečima, želi smrt, i promenu i obnovu. Uništenje ideala, i početak druge borbe. Ali čovek kao duh, znajući da je duh plemenitiji od prirode, okreće svoje strasti pred zakone lepote. Neće smrt i promenu, nego raspiruje i održava stalnu borbu. Stalnu, jer ne sme poginuti u iskušenju. A mora primati iskušenja. Jer, gde prestaju iskušenja, prestaje i monaštvo.”

“Нешто заједничко породично, од оца наслеђено, имале су обе сестре; сузе боље рећи сузу, ону севдалинску једну сузу која стоји у оку непомично, светли, нити отиче нити усахњује.”
