Summary

Ante Tomić: Kraljević Marko liberates Imotski

A novel by a favorite writer from the region that you haven't read before: a historical spectacle, hilarious satire and a great story about the Balkans before the Balkans. In the spring of 1717, in a village at the foot of Imotski, the serf Grgo accidentally dug a hole from which smoke billowed and a terrible chasm gaped; he slips, falls inside and meets the devil there who has been waiting for him for a long time. When he wakes up, he realizes that reality is even worse than the dream: the Turks are coming to collect a tribute that he has nothing to pay, his beardless son wants to go to war "for the honorable cross and golden freedom", and rumors say that a powerful army is marching towards Imotski. And not just any army, but the one led by Marko Kraljević. In Imotski itself, the Turkish commander and local powerful are organizing the defense, the friars are raising the people to their feet, merchants are raising prices, vegetable sellers are raising interest rates, prostitutes are devising marketing strategies, and soldiers are looking for a way to avoid going to war. Because no one is a hero in Imotski. Everyone is looking at how to make money, how not to pay, how to get out alive and bypass what is coming. And what is coming is history repeating itself. *King Marko Frees Imotski* is a sumptuous, cheekily witty and irresistibly entertaining novel about the Balkans before the Balkans, about a time when empires changed and borders moved, but the people remained the same. Ante Tomić writes a merciless historical comedy about war, religion, identity and government, showing that everything changes over the centuries except human nature.
