Seobe

by Miloš Crnjanski

Seobe i Druga knjiga Seoba u jednoj knjizi.

Seobe (1929) istovremeno predstavljaju porodični roman tri lika i nacionalni roman o Srbima u Habzburškoj monarhiji u vreme Marije Terezije. Poetičnim pripovedanjem bez premca u srpskoj prozi priča o sudbinama srpskog oficira Vuka Isakoviča, njegove žene i njegovog puka tokom vojnog pohoda 1744. godine razgranava se u povest o opštoj tragediji nepripadanja, o lutanju, potrazi za smislom i snovima o utočištu.

Odmah po objavljivanju roman dobija nagradu SANU, a tokom decenija postaje jedno od temeljnih dela u svakoj kućnoj biblioteci. Doživeo je brojna strana izdanja, a u Francuskoj je proglašen za inostrani roman godine.

Druga knjiga Seoba (1962) posvećena je seobi Srba iz Austrije u Rusiju 1752. godine. Kroz priču o oficirima Pavlu Isakoviču i njegovoj braći koji nastoje da se ukorene u novoj domovini uobličena je veličanstveno razuđena slika neostvarivosti sna o utočištu.

U preplitanju živopisnih likova, prizora i događaja i smenjivanju ironičnih, tragičnih, i grotesknih perspektiva ispisuju se najoriginalnije stranice u srpskoj pripovednoj književnosti.

About the author

Miloš Crnjanski (in Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Црњански, pronounced [mîlɔʃ t͡srɲǎnskiː]) was a poet of the expressionist wing of Serbian modernism, author, and a diplomat. He initially wrote poetry but later turned to prose fiction and drama, as well. He wrote about his disillusionment, the futility of war and the destruction of his country.

Crnjanski was born in Csongrád, present day Hungary in 1893. His father was a municipal notary. The family moved to Temesvár (now Timisoara in Romania), where he grew up in a Serbian environment, favouring Serbian nationalism. After high school, he studied in Rijeka and then Vienna. After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, he was persecuted like other Serbs and then drafted into the army to fight the Russians. He was wounded in 1915, spending time in a hospital in Vienna. He was later sent back to the Italian front. He then studied art history and philosophy in Vienna and graduated from the University of Belgrade, where he had edited the student newspaper. He later worked as a teacher, a newspaper editor and an embassy press attaché in Berlin and then in the Yugoslav Embassy in Rome. He also worked as reporter in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. In World War II, he escaped to London, where he remained after the war, becoming a British citizen. He worked in Hatchards, the bookshop, while his wife sewed dolls dresses for Harrods. He returned to Belgrade, Serbia in 1965, where he died in 1977.

Multiple POVs get tiring. I was not interested or invested in all of them equally and would rather they be separated. Very informative and culturally significant book.
