Pripovijetke

Isak Samokovlija

Isak Samokovlija (1889–1955), a Bosnian-Herzegovinian physician and writer of Sephardic origin, published the collection Tales in 1936 – a masterpiece that immortalized the everyday life of Sarajevo Jews.

The collection originally brought together around thirty stories from earlier collections such as From Spring to Spring (1929), while nine of them were published in this selection. In "The Porter Samuel" (later a standalone collection), the poor porter Samuel fights for his daughter Saruča, symbolizing fatherly love in misery. "Rafa's Yard" depicts death in the family yard, where spirituality overcomes illness. "Mirjamina kosa" follows a girl with red hair, a victim of childhood cruelty and prejudice. "Simha: A Story of Joy" describes the shoemaker Rafael Mačor and his love for Simha, intertwined with misunderstandings and subtle joy. "Saručin drug" explores friendship in poverty, while "Hanka" (dramatized) depicts a romantic conflict in a Roma and Jewish circle. The stories are short, emotional, full of dialogue in the local language, without pathos – just the authentic pulse of life.
