Gavrijada

Gavrijada

Veljko Kovačević

The work deals with the life and activities of Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 served as a reason for the First World War.

The novel does not follow a classic biographical line. Instead, it uses a fictionalized, fragmented, and reflexive approach in presenting Gavrilo Princip and the idea of rebellion against the empire. Kovačević presents Gavrilo not only as a historical figure, but as a symbol of the revolutionary consciousness of a young man from an oppressed people. The plot unfolds through retrospectives, reflections, confessions, and memories of characters who are connected to the idea of rebellion, homeland, freedom, and death. Gavrilo is portrayed as a tragic, idealistic figure, driven by the belief that violence can open up space for change. However, the novel does not celebrate the assassination as heroism, but rather examines it from different angles – moral, political, and human. This separates the work from the national-romantic depiction and opens up space for critical reflection on history.
