Summary
Jovan Dučić: Cities and chimeras
Without great imagination, there is no great love. Love that did not arise from fantasy is characterized by a sad measure in which everything is measured, predicted and categorized; she does not know the happiness of surprises or the joy of great ups and downs. Before us is the pinnacle of Serbian travel literature - *Cities and Chimeras* by Jovan Dučić - a book in which cities are not just geographical points, but living beings with their own souls that remember centuries, and their streets are stages where tragedy and glory alternate. Through letters from Geneva, Rome, Athens and Madrid, the author explores the historical layers and cultural identities of Europe, turning the travelogue into a supreme philosophical meditation. As a diplomat and poet, Dučić writes pages that are both geography and poetry. His sentences are erudite and melancholic, poetic and enchanting, and his observations on history, art and national temperaments remain an unsurpassed model of Serbian literature. In today's busy world, this work is a guide for a journey that takes place in space and the human spirit, a unique manual on the art of living, and a reminder that all civilizations are transient, and only beauty is eternal.
