About This Book

A collection of lectures, essays and curated folk material outlines Serbia's history, spiritual life and wartime trials for an English-speaking readership. The narrative contrasts peaceful periods of daily work, prayer and cultural expression with times of oppression, resistance and military sacrifice, and appeals for sympathy and solidarity abroad. Two supplementary parts gather national proverbs and popular poetry, while prefatory commentary and illustrations emphasize leaders, clergy and ordinary people coping with upheaval and recovery.
