Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jugo Slav Stories: Translated From the Original and Edited With an Introduction When I was very kindly asked to prepare a short Anthology of modern Serbian fiction I felt very much at a loss. It was in the month of May 1919 and I was in Paris attending the Peace Conference and at the very height of my work in the Press Division of the Serbian Delegation. How was it possible to prepare an Anthology at a time so unfavorable for literary work? The greatest difficulty of all was to find the necessary books. I had none with me and my countrymen who had come to the Conference and who had taken the greatest pains to have on hand statistical reports and maps had never thought of bringing any works of pure literature. There were none in the libraries of Paris and they would have to be sent from Belgrade. But even this was not altogether practical for almost all the Public Libraries in Serbia, as well as most of the private ones, were destroyed and pillaged by the enemy during the war and many Serbian books which ordinarily could have been very easily obtained had for that reason become extremely rare. Besides where could translators be found, for there are very few English speaking people who understand and read Serbian.
