Bajka

Dobrica Ćosić

"Bajka", as time goes by, is revealed as one of the key and best places in Ćosić's prose, the originator of dystopian thinking in Serbian literature, which, a few decades later, was joined by Pekić's "1999" and Basara's "Ukleta zemlja".

"Bajka" is a fantastic dystopian novel by Dobrica Ćosić, set in the era of totalitarianism where freedoms have been abolished and all values ​​have collapsed. Through allegorical images of destruction, absurdity and disintegration of human society, Ćosić explores threats to general and national progress, depicting "Anti-Time", general chaos and a grotesque world order without a future. The main character makes a deal with the underwater Moravian devil Anđam, who offers him immortality and the power of knowledge in exchange for the fate of a mortal, in order to check whether God exists in the real world.
