Atlantida

Borislav Pekić

A novel about a mysterious, ancient continent that is still not known whether it is a myth or reality and our alienated civilization from the pen of one of the greatest Serbian writers.

"It is our duty to follow our imagination at least as much as we respect the obviousness of the real world we live in. Because the truth is most likely to be somewhere where our imagination and someone else's reality intersect..." reads the beginning of Pekić's novel, the epic "Atlantis".

At first, Pekić did not intend to deal more seriously with the riddle of the existence of Atlantis, a better, more advanced civilization. He wrote an essay about it, and only after having a dream did he realize that he had to write a novel about Atlantis.

"(My) ambitions related to the artistic analysis of our Indo-Machine civilization, which in many aspects... did not seem human to me... That is why in this book the longing for Atlantis is real. Maybe Atlantis is also real...", says Pekić and adds that the idea of ​​Atlantis came from the need for paradise, and "misunderstandings about it will undoubtedly continue as long as our need for a better world lasts. It will exist and it won't exist. We all want a paradise somewhere, even if personally never reached him".

The novel contains fantasy, criminal plots, conflicts between real people and robot people, between which there are almost no differences... In addition to essays and novels about Atlantis, the book "Birth of Atlantis" was also published, which tells about the writer's long-term and exhaustive work on to the creation of this great work.
