S. A Novel of the Balkans

It is not a fictional work, it is not an attack. Reading this novel is like entering a long and dark alley in a strange city. Stress - even if it is a serious fear - it will not disappear until the way passes completely and the light is illuminated again. However, there are no soap operas or thrillers. It represents seriously, sincerely, and very painfully the cruelty of warfare and unintelligence of life.

When a novel was opened, S newborn baby broke the status of surrender. When the fear of the Bosnian war broke out, this was the position that the reader also learned to adopt.

This book caused the terrorist incident that was forgotten, a gaze at the Bosnian war from 1992 to 1995, the Serbian minority besieged Sarajevo, began to kill the Bosnian Muslim population up and down. In 1993, Croatian journalist Slavenka Drakulic published "Vulcan Express: Fragments Beyond the War". Like Martha Gailhorn in the early war, she sent a temporary dispatch to explain the delicate texture of everyday life from the front desk of the family. She knows that women who want to buy high heels in Sarajevo are dangerous all day long and it is difficult to contact young soldiers who may become her son.
