Marked by not only geographical proximity but also by the shared experience of communism and its collapse, the countries of Eastern Europe--Poland, Hungary, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, and the former states of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany--share literatures that reveal many common themes when examined together.

Download or read book Cyclops written by Ranko Marinkovic and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his semiautobiographical novel, Cyclops, Croatian writer Ranko Marinkovic recounts the adventures of young theater critic Melkior Tresic, an archetypal antihero who decides to starve himself to avoid fighting in the front lines of World War II. As he wanders the streets of Zagreb in a near-hallucinatory state of paranoia and malnourishment, Melkior encounters a colorful circus of characters—fortune-tellers, shamans, actors, prostitutes, bohemians, and café intellectuals—all living in a fragile dream of a society about to be changed forever. A seminal work of postwar Eastern European literature, Cyclops reveals a little-known perspective on World War II from within the former Yugoslavia, one that has never before been available to an English-speaking audience. Vlada Stojiljkovic's able translation, improved by Ellen Elias-Bursac's insightful editing, preserves the striking brilliance of this riotously funny and densely allusive text. Along Melkior’s journey Cyclops satirizes both the delusions of the righteous military officials who feed the national bloodlust as well as the wayward intellectuals who believe themselves to be above the unpleasant realities of international conflict. Through Stojiljkovic's clear-eyed translation, Melkior’s peregrinations reveal how history happens and how the individual consciousness is swept up in the tide of political events, and this is accomplished in a mode that will resonate with readers of Charles Simic, Aleksandr Hemon, and Kundera.

Download or read book Selected Serbian Plays written by Branko Mikasinovich and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTHORS presented in this anthology are Branislav Nusic ("Deceased"), Djordje Lebovic ("Hallelujah"), Aleksandar Obrenovic ("The Bird"), Aleksandar Popovic ("Hats Off!"), Ljubomir Simovic ("The Traveling Troupe Sopalovic"), Dusan Kovacevic ("Balkan Spy"), Sinisa Kovacevic ("Times Have Changed"), Nebojsa Romcevic ("Caroline Neuber"), Biljana Srbljanovic ("Barbelo, on Dogs and Children"), Milena Markovic ("A Boat for Dolls"). After the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1989, the spirit and character of Serbian plays shifted to a basis on altered values and culture as a result of the wars and existential hardships. The most prominent Serbian playwrights following Lebovic, Obrenovic, and Popovic were Ljubomir Simovic and Dusan Kovacevic. Although primarily a poet, Simovic's (1935) plays are readily described as poetic dramas. His "The Traveling Troupe Sopalovic" depicts actors travelling together and sharing their destiny. The play centers on two characters, Vasilije and Jelisaveta, whose best years are behind them. The plot and characters oscillate between reality and self-delusion, from "extreme realism to a poetic vision and we hardly notice the moment when the author of the drama has been joined by a poet," as drama critic Jovan Hristic pointed out. All of the authors in this anthology have made important contributions to the advancement of the theatre arts in modern Serbia. Others could also have been included if not for space limitations. Each of these authors has enjoyed great recognition and popularity in Serbia itself, where their plays have been performed in numerous theatres throughout the country, side by side with the best dramatic literature from around the world. Many of them have also been recognized abroad. This international acknowledgement is a clear sign that Serbian drama has emerged on the world theatrical stage with potency and commendation. It is our sincere hope that this anthology will introduce modern Serbian plays to a wider audience of English language readers and perhaps even to a new theatre audience. -Branko Mikasinovich ***** After Tito died in 1980, the Yugoslavian government tried to pretend nothing had changed. Their motto was "After Tito - Tito." The rules may have become less strictly enforced, but their presence still hung in the air. Holding on to the days of Tito, of course, proved more aspirational than actual. Without him, the economic imbalance between different regions continued to grow more severe and the historical grudges between ethnic groups floated back to the surface, making the eventual dissolution of the country, in retrospect, seem like a foregone conclusion. Milosevic, eventually, was a poor imitation of Tito - and, where Tito controlled political subversion with a nuanced cleverness, Milosevic lost control of it through a brazen arrogance. This allowed for a short period of more explicitly political and defiant works. Nothing of that nature, however, is included in this collection. The socio-political connections within the most contemporary works in the collection, "Barbelo" and "A Ship For Dolls," are less local in their concerns - responding with a wider attack on the human condition within the 21st century. The theatrical imagination at work within these plays provokes and inspires simultaneously. They are both invested with similar visions that acknowledge and bemoan the corruption of our times - while also seducing audiences with recognition of humanity's insufferable and adamant refusal to succumb. Though not about to compete yet on an international scale with the likes of New York or London, Belgrade has an astonishingly prolific theatre scene, and as Harold Clurman reminded us at every opportunity, great theatre can only exist where the efforts to make theatre are legion. Belgrade is such a place and as the reader who becomes familiar with the plays in this book will avouch, Belgrade has produced some of the greatest. -Dennis Barnett

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was traditionally accepted (already in Poetics by Aristotle) that historiographic representations of historical events were more objective than literary ones that belonged to the realm of fiction. In the last 30 years with the breaking of the “Rankeian” faith in the attainable scientific objectivity of historiography it became clear that these two disciplines are not as apart as we might have thought. However, it is not merely the question whether or not we can attain a certain degree of objectivity in both historiography and literature, which is at the core of this book, but rather, what are the means and consequences of contemporary interactions of historiography and art. To be able to open a debate on this issue, the editors gathered scientists from different professional and cultural background (historians, comparative literature scientists and musicologists from different parts of Europe). The result deconstructs not only a belief that historiography can and should be more objective than literature, it also shows that literary history at its very beginning in the 19th Century was crucially influenced by a popular concept of the so called organicism. Furthermore, it shows in several case studies the social consequences of particular representations of history and at the end even doubts that we can speak of historical genres in all forms of art (e.g. in the opera).
