Laida, plima sa dva dna

Vladan Dobrivojević is one of the absolute phenomena in Serbian culture. His works encompass the world of words that my ten hard-working friends and I have been creating for decades. The history of humanity flows in its part, almost all corners of our planet are spread out in it. It is a net that should catch our souls, because it was conceived as a great and unfathomable wandering of the human soul that has wandered into this evil world. (Jovica Acin)

In Dobrivojević's opus are present, explicitly or implicitly - we mention only some of the works and authors - from Tristan and Isolde, Letters about Igor's regiment, myths about Atlantis, Persephone, Icarus, Hera and Leander, Dead souls, teachings of the Holy Fathers, Lao Tzu, Dostoyevsky, Becket, Bulgakov, Suhrawardi, Ibh-Hajam, Solovyov, Kuper, Berđaev, through Volas Stevens, Hamvaš, Plato, Ortega and Gasset, Heidegger, to the biography of Saint Sava and Andrić's Jelena, the woman who is not there. But this opus as a whole, confirming the affinity of the author with many thinkers, first of all with Heidegger and Hamvas, essentially (as a novel opus) continues the work of Dostoyevsky, sharing with the great writer an interest in the same topics, but thinking about them in a different way. which corresponds to the differences of the ages to which they belong.
