About the book: 1990 / Simo Matavul (1852-1908), Ivo Cipiko (1869-1923), Borisav Stankovic (1875-1927) - the largest representatives of critical realism in Serbian literature of the late XIX - early XX centuries. The book includes novels by S. Matavulya “Bakonya fra Brne”, I. Čipiko “Spiders” and B. Stanković “Bad Blood”. Recreating the life and customs of Dalmatia and provincial Serbia at the turn of the century, the authors condemn the moral foundations of the bourgeois world that replaced patriarchal society.
