Summary
Milorad Popović: Dvorski trg
Kings, princes and princesses, writers and artists, spies and directors, tycoons and ridiculers, military leaders and boxers, croupiers and revolutionaries, all of them true, real flesh and blood people are strangely and inextricably connected with the blood flow and life of Dvorski trg, Cetinje and Montenegro. Right around Dvorski trg below Lovcen are located all the most important institutions of a state, the home of the king, the seat of the Government, and all the most important embassies. The novel-fresco Dvorski trg chronicles Cetinje and its inhabitants. The city where it was built and destroyed, loved and dreamed up, often grandiose, ambitious, mythomaniacal, sometimes without cover, but always with the idea that it can be done differently and more.
In Milorad Popović's novel, the destinies of people connected to Cetinje miraculously merge and merge, from Danilo Kiš, a writer who himself collected materials to write a novel about his Cetinje, through the most important Montenegrin painter Miodrag Dade Đurić, then the unique Petar Sinanović Nagib, the man who created the Obod factory out of nothing after the revolution and the war, King Nikola and his nephew, the disinherited heir to the Yugoslav dynasty Karađorđević Đorđe, all the way to Blagota Bađija Burić and professor Maćan Peraš, who in transition becomes a media mogul.
