მშრალად აღწერილ ისტორიულ ფაქტებს + ბევრი "ძალიან ცნობილი" უცნობი გვარი + რიგითი ისტორია, რომელსაც პავიჩი დაწერდა თუ ჩვეუელებრივი მემატიანე, დიდი განსხვავება არ იქნებოდა.

თუმცა, მათთვის, ვისაც ბელგრადში უმოგზაურია, ან პირიქით მოგზაურობას აპირებს ნამდვილად საინტერესო და გამოსადეგი წიგნია.

Lovely city, impressive history.

Feels like my hometown.

Milorad Pavić's soft spoken historical poetry continues to melt my heart.
