Штампар и Вероника

The novel is about Božidar Vuković Podgoričanin, a pioneer of Serbian printing. It moves between beautiful Venice and tragic Constantinople at the dramatic crossroads of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, amid the turmoil of religious, political and cultural worlds. There a young man from the Balkans, an exile determined to devote himself to virtue and success, lives a love story. Thrown by fate into this whirl, enchanted by books and by memories of home, he looks among high society for his own road to a happiness that tempts him and keeps slipping away, until his dreams become a reality both disconsolate and fantastic.
