Memoari Pere Bogalja

Memoari Pere Bogalja

Slobodan Selenić

Selenić's first novel, the masterpiece of a new generation of post-war Serbian writers, can be read enthrallingly because of its stylistic ease and perfection, the universality of its messages, and its striking depiction of the times that have forever lef

Excommunicated from the society of the "new humanity", crippled by an accident as a child in a stampede during the Second World War, Pera Bogalj writes in his extraordinary memoirs the drama of the post-war collapse of partisan morale and dissects a society that, in the name of unattainable ideals, replaced the civil order with an even worse and more unjust one. At first compensating for his deficiency with the leather coat of a desolate motorist of the new regime, reclining in a wheelchair, this "centaur on wheels" ultimately remains appalled by the world around him.
