Summary

Josip Mlakić: Return of Josip Filipović

It is a gloomy winter's day, sleet is falling as Colonel Josip Filipović lands on a plane from London to Zagreb airport after seventeen long years spent either in The Hague or serving a sentence. He himself does not know whether he is a hero or a criminal. The media spotlights are waiting for him, and he skilfully avoids them by going through a side exit, where his wife, handball player son and medical student daughter are waiting for him in Golf. In an apartment near the busy street of Kucavica, Josip Filipović tries, smoking cigarette after cigarette, to put his life back together, to understand his faithful wife and to understand why he missed the upbringing of his children, who are now adults and independent people. He, a promising student of German studies, an avid reader, from a small, impoverished village in central Bosnia, succeeded - or so it seemed until the war began. But he proved himself in the war as well and soon gained a rank, barely survived, and in the end was convicted of a war crime. And as he tries to start his life anew, shying away from praise and avoiding people building some of his own stories on his name, Josip Filipović realizes that he has to go to his hometown to see his older sister, who married a Muslim, and is now, a long time ago, in a sanatorium. humor and slow rhythm. The Return of Josip Filipović is a novel about human destiny, about a man who may have destroyed his life for ideals, about people who, after a long absence, return to environments that are no longer the same as they were. A magnificent novel that shows that all great ideas are delusions, and those who believed in them are left with only small ruined lives, which can only be patched up again with the love and support of those closest to them.
