Milovan Glišić
50 books14 followersMilovan Glišić (1847–1908) was a famous Serbian writer, dramatist, and literary theorist. He is sometimes considered to be the Serbian Gogol, due to the Ukrainian author's influence on his writing.
Glišić began his literary translations in satirical newspapers, and then moved to the original short story. His original work includes two theater pieces, "Two coins" and "Spoofing" and two collections of short stories. The collections are, among others, his popular humorous and satirical stories: "Sugar Head", "Roga", "Not about what", "Pricker for fire", "Walk after death," An ominous number"," Rare beast " ; also "After ninety years" and a lyrical sketch "The first furrow".
Glišić is the most worked on translations from Russian and French literature and eighties was the main and best translator from Russian and French. Conscientious and talented translator, and also a great connoisseur of Public language, he did the most to learn Serbian audience with the great Russian writers, and significantly influenced the development of his translations of literary language and style. The best and most important are his translations from Russian: "Dead Souls" and "Taras Bulba" by Gogol, "The Kreutzer Sonata "and" War and Peace" by Tolstoy, "Oblomov" by Goncharov, with the rest of Ostrovsky and Danchenko. The French had translated Balzac , Merimee, Jules Verne and others. For the theater has translated more than thirty pieces of Russian, French and German literature.
Milovan Glišić was known mostly for his realist stories, but he also had a few which included motifs of Serbian folklore and superstition. Most famous one is the story "After ninety years" (1880) who he wrote 17 years before Bram Stoker wrote "Dracula". In Glišić story the main character is Strahinya, a poor lad in the 19th century rural Serbia. He falls in love with a lovely daughter of a wealthy but ill-tempered Živan. He is almost driven from the village when the village boss, the priest and a few village elders see an opportunity for Strahinya. The village is plagued by a vampire attacking millers in an old mill: since no one dares to stay the night over there, the people are on the verge of famine. Strahinya agrees to do the job, and manages to survive the night hiding in the attic. After some troubles, the villagers manage to discover the vampire's grave. They pierce the (unopened) coffin with a stake, but due to clumsiness and fright of one of the company, a butterfly escapes from the coffin before it is sprinkled by the Holy water. It represents the soul of the vampire which remains undestroyed. Everybody thinks it's all over now, but in the end – the real horrors await Strahinya during his wedding night. Based on the story "After ninety years" (1880) in a 1973 a horror TV movie "Leptirica" ( The She-Butterfly) is made. "Leptirica" is considered one of the top Serbian and former Yugoslav horror films.

PRIPOVETKE-MILOVAN GLIŠIĆ
✒"Још онда кад су Зарожани затурили вилама орахе на таван; кад су појили врбу и сејали со; кад су ишли четомице у планину те секли чачкалице да ишчачкају зубе; кад су истезали греду, скакали у јарину, уносили прегрштима видело у кућу, и тако даље... била је у неког Живана душмана, кмета у Овчини, зачудо лепа кћи."
✒"Богами, ја не знам шта су ти јадни капетани толико натрунили тим људима што пишу у новине и књиге!... Ама нека ко год замочи перо, одмах ти ту потегне капетана: те не знам — у црвеним јеменијама с репићима; те — тур му до земље; те прекрстио ноге на сиџадету па пуши из чибука; те — узима мито; а већ нос, главу, врат, трбух, и ноге немој ни спомињати! То начине да те бог сачува и саклони... Начине од здрава и читава човека накараду! Да га у сну усниш, би се уплашио, а камоли да имаш с њима кака посла."
📖Kad god želim da idem na sigurno i da čitam nešto provereno dobro,tu su pripovetke naših pisaca.
📖Ovde su sakupljene najznačajnije Glišićeve priče. (Sadržaj na slici 2)
📖Uvek je dobro podsetiti se i uporediti tadašnji mentalitet s današnjim. Nije se mnogo promenilo.
📖Naravno,moji favoriti su Posle devedeset godina i Glava šećera,mada ni ostale ne zaostaju u slikanju karaktera i narodnih običaja.
