DESCRIPTION - A thread runs through this new collection of short stories by Milovan Djilas, tying together the lives of people who are separated by time and by circumstance. However disparate their roles, they are united by a fierce national identity. Survival is all. It is a dictum that Djilas, a skillful storyteller, shows in these thirteen varied tales of Montenegro. One of the characters says, 'Life is merciless and abounding in dilemmas,' The dilemma may arise out of war, as in 'The Stone and the Violets,' in which partisans are faced with the cruel choice of deciding who has first claim on loyalty - one's kin or one's revolutionary ideals, Or it may arise out of man's struggle to wrest a living from the rocky, barren land of Montenegro, as in 'Two Wolves' and 'The Doctor and the Eagle.' The moral predicament becomes most acute when a man must at last confront his own conscience, as the idealistic narrator does in 'The Brothers and the Girl' All of the people in these stories - students, peasants, outlaws, heroic women - confront the dilemma of survival in ways that reveal their character, and their culture. Few contemporary writers bring to fiction the qualities of realism and subtlety that characterize the writing of Milovan Djilas. He writes in the tradition of Tolstoy - a tradition that brings together in storytelling both a strong feeling for people who live close to the earth and a fervent romantic and politically revolutionary vision. inventory #14941. …
