Summary
Vladan Bajčeta: Spring of Vladan Desnica: epistolary biography
Vladan Desnica is the only classic of Serbian literature whose work, apart from the key novel Spring of Ivan Galeb, and just like his biography, remained almost completely on the margins of reader attention, unlike other local writers of his importance and rank. Vladan Bajčeta's new study provides an insight into Desnica's life based on extensive epistolary and documentary legacy, along with a wealth of unknown or newly interpreted data and facts. This book, equally fundamentally, deals with Desnica's creativity, analyzing all aspects of the writer's literary work on the basis of socio-political circumstances in which, although he was often hindered and stumbled, he worked persistently. The scope and depth of the research project Spring of Vladan Desnica in this sense represent the biggest turning point in the study and knowledge of the writer's biography and his overall artistic and intellectual engagement.
