The Prince Of Fire

Winner of the 1998 Misha Djordjevic Award for the best book on Serbian culture in English.
Editors Gorup and Obradovic have collected stories from thirty-five outstanding writers in this first English anthology of Serbian fiction in thirty years. The anthology, representing a great variety of literary styles and themes, includes works by established writers with international reputations, as well as promising new writers spanning the generation born between 1930 and 1960.
