Summary |
The life story of a Serbian woman over a period of more than 70 years, preserved in memoirs, letters and mostly diaries, recounts the triumphs and tragedies of a life that takes place against the backdrop of extraordinary turbulence in the Balkans. It covers more than half a century, five wars (including the two world wars), and four ideologies. Accompanied by an introductory study, Natalija's diary provides a rich background to understanding the on-going conflict in the Balkans |
