Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But the country could not accept the bridge and the bridge could not accept the country." This quotation, from the short story "The Bridge on the Zepa," by the 1961 Nobel laureate Ivo Andric, whose story, "Thirst," is included in this collection, reflects the essence of the state of human relations in the Balkans. Here Andric observes that while bridges are built to connect and not divide, human nature, as it is, can lead to discord and alienation. In fact, throughout its history Serbia was a point of convergence, and even more often, a place of confrontation. The stories in this anthology depict figuratively the banks on either side of the bridge in Serbia and the Balkans. On the one side there is respectfulness and coalescence, and on the other, turbulence and division among people along social, economic, ethnic, and religious lines. One of the best ways to get acquainted with foreign literature is to select an anthology in order to sample individual writers to get a sense of a nation's literary culture. To that end, the purpose of this anthology of short stories is to enlighten the reader about Serbia and the Serbian people. This volume represents the quintessential anthology of Serbian short stories in the English language selected in terms of the diversity of topics, styles, and literary trends, covering both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The stories chosen for this anthology represent the best available selection presenting unique tales indigenous to Serbia. The nineteenth-century stories deal with life in rural Serbia, characterized by realistic descriptions, simplicity, and appealing characters. In contrast, Serbia's twentieth-century authors are recognized for their courage and daring in confronting totalitarian communist norms, and later for literary innovations illustrating the environment, people, and values of democratic Serbia. These Serb writers rank among the masters of modern literature. The first short stories appearing in Serbia of literary value date from the middle of the nineteenth century. During that period, the Serbian literary milieu was impacted significantly by Western European and Russian cultures, due mostly to two developments: firstly, a number of Serbian students acquired higher education in Western European countries, and upon returning, exerted their influence on the Serbian literary scene, bringing with them new and progressive ideas. Through the influx of such foreign-educated Serb intellectuals, Serbia was able to establish at least a peripheral literary connection with Western Europe. Secondly, Russian literature of the nineteenth century with its two literary giants, Leo Tolstoy and Fedor Dostoyevsky, were accessible to Serbian intellectuals because of the similarity of the Serbian and Russian languages and the ability of Serbs to read some of the works in the original, as well as in translation.

Download or read book New Political Ideas in the Aftermath of the Great War written by Alessandro Salvador and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection presents new research on how the Great War and its aftermath shaped political thought in the interwar period across Europe. Assessing the major players of the war as well as more peripheral cases, the contributors challenge previous interpretations of the relationship between veterans and fascism, and provide new perspectives on how veterans tried to promote a new political and social order. Those who had frontline experience of the First World War committed themselves to constructing a new political and social order in war-torn Europe, shaped by their experience of the war and its aftermath. A number of them gave voice to the need for a world order free from political and social conflict, and all over Europe veterans imagined a third way between capitalist liberalism and state-controlled socialism. By doing so, many of them moved towards emerging fascist movements and became, in some case unwillingly, the heralds of totalitarian dictatorships.
