About the author
Branislav Nušić
203 books127 followersBorn Alkibijad Nuša (Aromanian: Alchiviadi al Nuşa) in Belgrade, Principality of Serbia to a well-off family, Nušić enjoyed the benefits of a privileged upbringing for only a brief time. His father Đorđe Nuša was a well known grain merchant of Cincar (Aromanian Vlach) origin who lost his wealth shortly after his son's birth and was forced to move the family to Smederevo where young Alkibijad attended elementary school and first two grades of boarding school. During his teens, Nuša moved back to Belgrade where he graduated from boarding school. Upon turning 18 years of age, he legally changed his name to Branislav Nušić. In 1884, he graduated from the University of Belgrade's Law School. During his studies, he also spent a year in Graz, Austria-Hungary.
Twenty-one-year-old Nušić fought in the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885 while serving in the Serbian Army. After the war, he published a controversial poem "Dva Raba" in Dnevni list for which he spent two years in prison. The poem ridiculed Serbian King Milan, namely his decision to attend the funeral of the Serbian-born Austro-Hungarian general Dragutin Franasović's mother instead of that of the war's hero, Captain Mihailo Katanić who died as a result of wounds sustained while saving the regimental flag from the hands of Bulgarians.
At first, Nušić's sentence was only two months, but the King pressured the judges to extend it. Despite harsh prison conditions, Nušić still managed to write a comedy: Protekcija (Protection).
When he first asked the prison intendant, Ilija Vlah, for the permission to write, Vlah told him that it was the writing that got him into prison, and denied his request. Knowing that intendant read all outgoing mail, Nušić wrote a brief letter to the second husband of his aunt (he was related to her first husband), who served as a minister of justice. Nušić addressed Gersic as uncle and told him how it would be much easier for him to serve 2 years if he could write. He noted that he had no interest in writing political texts, and signed the letter your nephew. One day later, Vlah allowed him to write literature.
In 1889, Nušić became a civil servant. As an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he was appointed to clerk of consulate in Bitola, where he eventually married (1893). He spent a decade in southern Serbia and Macedonia. His last post in this region was vice-consul in Pristina.[1]
In 1900, Nušić was appointed as a secretary of Ministry of Education, and shortly afterwards he became a head dramaturgist of the National Theatre in Belgrade. In 1904, he was appointed a head of Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad. In 1905, he left his new post and moved to Belgrade to work as a journalist.
In 1912, Nušić returned to Bitola as a civil servant. During Balkan Wars in February 1913, Nušić, who was the prefect, was regarded as too moderate, and replaced by someone more sympathetic with the views of the military party and of "the black hand."[2] In 1913, he founded a theater in Skopje, where he lived until 1915. Due to the World War I, Nušić fled the country and lived in Italy, Switzerland and France for its duration.
After the war, Nušić was appointed to be the first head of the Art Department of the Ministry of Education. He remained at this post until 1923. Afterwards, he was appointed head of Narodno pozorište (National Theater) in Sarajevo. In 1927, he returned to Belgrade.

Веома сам се изненадио кад сам видио да је ово прва Нушићева комедија, коју је написао са свега 19 (!) година. Из самог текста то се уопште не види, јер је ово једно врло зрело и духовито, а богме (да употријебим и најстарији клише у књизи) и данас веома актуелно (ТМ) дјело.
Прича је везана за изборе и прати борбу извјесног трговца Јеврема Прокића да се докопа парламента, у чему му је конкурент нико други него његов будући зет (и подстанар), млади адвокат Ивковић. Морам признати да нисам баш најбоље укапирао како тај изборни систем функционише, но у сваком случају Јеврем је кандидат власти, а Ивковић опозиције. Слиједи очекивана серија лудорија неизбјежних за овакав сетинг, па имамо куповину гласова, клеветање противничког кандидата и разноразне друге интересантне марифетлуке, испраћене паралелно са Јевремовом породичном ситуацијом, првенствено његовом немогућношћу да исконтролише тинејџерске хормоне своје ћерке која се загледала у тог некаквог адвоката.
Све је то сјајно и супер, али једна ствар ми се овде није свидјела. Сва Нушићева сатира усмјерена је ка владајућој гарнитури, тј. све су то поводљиве опортунистичке неспособне мрцине, док су представници опозиције млади, лијепи, паметни, часни и поштени. Ја сам очекивао да све то буде иста стока и да њихово препуцавање буде мало више... двосмјерно.

Priprosti palanački trgovac Jevrem Prokić kandiduje se za narodnog poslanika na vladinoj listi.
Iako ih ne čitam često, volim Nušićeve komedije jer uvek uspeju da me makar malo nasmeju zbog toga što odlično približava mentalitet srpskog življa s kraja devetnaestog i početka dvadesetog veka.
Cilj ove komedije, koja je nešto između komedije naravi, intrige i karaktera, je kritikovanje ponašanja i svesti srpskog društva za vreme vladavine Milana Obrenovića. Likovi su u, kao i u mnogim komedijama, tipski. Pavka je jedna od mnogih patrijarhalnih domaćica koja prigovara ćerki zbog udaje (,,da je ne uzme svet u usta"). Jevrem je korumpiran i sebičan. Shvatio je da taj položaj može da iskoristi za lično i porodično obogaćenje preko korupcije i malverzacija.
Svakako preporučujem da pročitate nešto od Nušića, mada verujem da jeste, makar tokom školovanja.

May 10, 2014This a very good book in which Nušić's sense of humor is very specific.I consider it specific because of the humorous situations which have two sides,the bright one that brings joy and smile on our faces,and the 'dark' one that reminds about real life values on a symbolic way.
