Summary
Blažo Popović: Intruder among Obscenities: Italy - Cities and Fates
The book shows the value and persistence of the travel genre in the most beautiful way. Writing about history, nature, human achievements and the wonders of Italian culture, art and science is a great challenge and life inspiration for this author. Popović, without a doubt, could agree with Henrik Sienkevich that every man has two homelands - one is the one where he was born, and the other is Italy. Popović loves and knows Italy to the core, and not only its rich political history, culture and art, but also its modernity - from food and wine to film and fashion - which allows him to easily and beautifully notice parallels and differences, leading the reader on an exciting journey through space and time. The book Intruder among obscenities is a kind of modern bedeker, a vivid picture of the Apennine peninsula, where the voices of hundreds of personalities and events that determined the history of the Bel Paese echo, showing it as one of the brightest jewels of Western European culture and civilization.
