Here, there is no separation between two worlds: the fictional and the real. Borislav Peki\u0107 would have added the Spirit of History and the poetical content of the past as a predominating content of any successful literary work. Veliki rat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>(The Great War) <\/b><\/i>belongs to this category of work.<\/p>\n Petar Pijanovi\u0107, <\/i>Politika<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is, so far, the best novel by Aleksandar Gatalica. His chronicling-mystical reach into history is formidable in scope: from brothels and studios to the invisible military fronts all over the world, from submarines into zeppelins and aeroplanes…<\/p>\n Vesna Triji\u0107<\/i>, Blic<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Veliki rat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>(The Great War) <\/i>shows that the word can be powerful, can be deadly and far-reaching.<\/p>\n Miomirka Ne\u0161i\u0107<\/i>, Mons Aureus<\/p>\n \u0438\u0458\u0430<\/p>\n The new novel Veliki rat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>(The Great War)<\/i> is an imposing book about World War I.<\/p>\n Jasmina Vrbavac, <\/i>programme Vavilon<\/i>, RTS<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Veliki rat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>(The Great War) <\/i>leaves a strong impression about the power of narration which successfully and convincingly depicts the spirit of history. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Mileta A\u0107imovi\u0107 Ivkov, <\/i>Polja<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Veliki rat<\/i><\/b> <\/i>(The Great War) <\/i>is an extraordinary book almost without a match in our languages.<\/p>\n Miljenko Jergovi\u0107<\/i>, Jutarnji list, Zagreb<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About the author Aleksandar Gatalica was born in 1964 in Belgrade, where he graduated in General Literature and Theory of Literature with Ancient Greek.
