Summary
Josip Mlakić: Requiem
Are we witnessing the last act of a tragedy that has been repeated in Bosnia for centuries? Ever since Eugene of Savoy's invasion of Bosnia, the people had hoped that change was possible. The first part of the novel entitled "Requiem" tells about this campaign. When the Savoy easily conquered the Bosnian regions, it seemed to the Catholics that salvation had come, but everything ended with the burning of Sarajevo and the exodus of the Croats. Through the records of the Franciscans, Josip Mlakić revives that time and the despair experienced by a community and a people.
The second part, "South of Paradise", is set during the World Cup in Russia, the Croatian football team is rushing towards the final, and the last inhabitants of an almost abandoned Croatian village are slowly leaving, some die, and some find happiness in the West. In its center is Ivo, a man who lost his son in the war and is looking for his remains, he looks after the whole village, which is visited only once a year by its former inhabitants.
Requiem mirrored the past and the present, because they cannot exist without each other. Josip Mlakić wrote a painful diptych about the times of emigration, about the age when even the most persistent cannot survive. Requiem is a great and magnificent novel about Bosnia, about a country that is disappearing, but above all a novel about man's attempts to master and overcome himself and his limitations.
