Summary

Stevan Jakovljević: Serbian trilogy 1: Nine hundred and fourteen

Human curiosity is exhausted, and everything is already disgusting and painful. But this is not what we listened to in comfortable rooms or read on soft armchairs. War then resembled the Olympic Games, people were epic heroes, decorated with wreaths of glory... And here people are disintegrating, spreading a terrible stench. Or they are cruelly thrown into pits, like corpses. They don't even know their names. And who will record it, when it should be removed as soon as possible so that the living are not infected. In the middle of 1914, everyday life in Serbia was abruptly interrupted; the peasant becomes a warrior overnight, and the smell of the earth is replaced by the smell of gunpowder. From the mobilization and the first marches, via Cer and Kolubara, the harsh reality of warfare in mud and poverty is described. The author records conversations in the barracks between battles, where more is said about family and home than about glory and decorations. This work is a precious chronicle of the time in which Serbia, although exhausted, showed the world what it means to fight for survival and freedom. It is a reminder of the sacrifice of the generation that laid everything on the altar of the homeland, asking for nothing in return. One thousand nineteen fourteenth is not only an introduction to the famous Serbian trilogy by Stevan Jakovljević, but also the most authentic literary monument to the Serbian soldier and must-read for anyone who wants to understand the roots of national identity and the steadfastness of the Serbian soul. - I guess you are not so naive as to expect a reward for your observation - said Milan, who came to me. - In the army, everything goes according to administrative proportions: the regiment commander received the highest praise for his feat, the division commander the least, and the battery commander the least. And this one is not crazy to share that little piece with you.
