It is a novel about a whole world and a great lost people. It is a book of knowledge. It is all about the present and sometimes about the future, which is why it begins eleven hundred years ago. It is about three great (and unruly) wise men~one Christian, one Jewish, one Moslem~whose disputes about the way the world should be are never done. It's a mystery wrapped in bedazzling philosophy. It's an Arabian Nights romance wrapped in a mystery. It's several murder stories wrapped in a romance. It's an illumination wrapped in secrets. It's a wickedly teasing intellectual game and an astonishing adventure. Its most wonderful characters disappear, only to return in the most impenetrable disguises. It is visited by several devils. And vampires. And a sect of priests who pursue their opponents in their sleep, for they are Dream Hunters. It comes in two versions, one male and one female, which differ only by fifteen (crucial) lines. Readers may choose whichever edition they prefer as their passport: their journey through the world of the Khazars will be different depending on their choice. Either way, all those who yearn to lose themselves in' a novel of love and death and adventure of almost cosmic possibilities should take Mr. Pavic's Dictionary in hand and plunge in. They will be entranced. Milorad Pavic was born in Belgrade. in 1929. He is professor of literary history at the University of Belgrade and is one of Yugoslavia's most acclaimed poets. Dictionary of the Khazars is his first full~length novel. Translated from the Serbo~Croatian by Christina Pribicevic~Zoric.
