Summary

Slobodan Schneider: The Age of Bronze

The Age of Bronze is a great story about two people who lived their lives in an age of extremes, and about their descendant who fell, as a not very happy inheritance, to deal with that fact. Georg and Vera, as they are called in the novel, had, up to a certain point in their lives, extremely contrasting biographies. They meet as soon as possible without it being dangerous, after everything in the world was against that meeting. Then they go their separate ways, when everything was pointing them to stay together. The story is European in that it happened in many versions, testifying to the power of an ideology that knows how to divide the table and the bed, yesterday as well as today, also in this century which is no less marked by extremes. For various reasons, including fear, this story is rarely told to the end. The Bronze Age is also an epic river with many tributaries, backwaters, alluvium, which is difficult to make its way to its distant mouth. Some may know that the Bosut River is unusual in that it sometimes flows towards its source. These sources are sought in the novel in a mythical time, when the colorful Hamelin player walked the German lands and collected her youth to take her to - Transylvania. Somewhat closer to our era, in the year 1770, a group of German colonists came to Wolkowar, as part of the Teresian reforms, and stayed in Slavonia. Later they were called Volksdeutscher. The narrative about them gives a broader framework of two individual destinies, until the expulsion of "ethnic Germans" in 1945 from Silesia, the Sudetenland and Yugoslavia, and the destruction of the latter. The central part of the novel takes place in Poland, probably the most terrible scene of the Second World War. The end of the novel belongs to the places where both the calm and the restless come, which we say are probably dead. Slobodan Šnajder (Zagreb, 1948) graduated in philosophy and English at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb. He was the co-founder and long-time editor of the theater magazine Prolog. Active in different genres. He has been publishing prose since 1966. Since 1969, he has been working as a playwright, writing dramatic texts continuously, which cannot be said for performances. Translated and played abroad.
