Vitezović's aphorisms suggest a double reception to the modern reader in a certain, sensitive way.

The League of Fishermen brings together everything that makes us read Marija Andrijašević: complex characters, flexible and sumptuous language, convincing dialogues and stories that will hook you with discreet humor.
