Summary
Mladen Milosavljević: Mud of the South
A thriller that blurs the line between history and mythology "Some secrets should be left buried, because what waits underground is remembered longer than people." - Aleksandar Tešić "Mladen Milosavljević builds a specific world in which religion, magic and history intertwine. Placing a curious archeology student and a homeless imperial intern at the center of the story, the author connects the centuries between their quests through joint efforts to recognize and understand the impulses of the other side. From the Belgrade lagoons to the mysterious depths of the Danube, from the mention of the first vampires to the discovery of Lepen figurines, from Eugene of Savoy to the Ministry of the Interior, Milosavljević connects national stories, war strategies, forgotten rituals and stories about the people who built the land we walk on today." - Marijana Jelisavčić Karanović "At the moment when the terrible neman sinks islands, cities and sanctuaries and people and animals retreat before the water element, it is the last hour for centuries-old secrets to emerge from the river bed. A perfect story in which the real and the beyond are inextricably intertwined and intertwined until you realize that the difference between them, in fact, never existed." - Vlada Arsić
