Hronika sumnje

Out of documents and the facts of a family life that has run its course, a narrator who speaks of himself in the third person tells of growing up, maturing and decadence, and of the decline of a whole world as well as its bright peaks. He records the tones and rhythms of an era, the grand and spreading delusions of the fathers, and the deep incomprehension of the sons, on whose heads the fathers' world will collapse. The family's life runs alongside the life of Yugoslavia, a country that no longer exists. The narrator tries hard to strip his story of pathos and sentiment.
