Putopisi
И зато пре него што почнем писати о изложбама, о парламентима, и о курсу франка, пустите ме да, још једном, станем уз једно дрво што пупи и штапићем изударам по њему брзојав: да трава зелени, и да се сетите вечности.

About the author
Miloš Crnjanski
116 books213 followersMiloš 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.

Što se tiče „Pisama iz Pariza”, dovoljno će biti citirati jednu rečenicu:
„Vi znate da ja imam ludu teoriju ʼsumatraizmaʼ: da život nije vidljiv, i da zavisi od oblaka, rumenih školjaka, i zelenih trava čak na drugome kraju sveta...”
