Herbst 1913, eine junge Frau aus Serbien reist alleine durch Norwegen. Im Gepäck hat sie ihr Notizbüchlein, ihr Blick ist offen und unvoreingenommen für dieses »kalte Land im Norden«. Zutiefst beeindruckt von der übermächtigen Natur und von den uralten Sagen und Legenden, verfasst sie poetische Reisebeschreibungen, die Land und Menschen auf ungesehene Weise zeigen. Zuhause in Serbien muss sich die Schriftstellerin und frühe Feministin rabiaten Anfeindungen stellen.
Isidora Sekulic Books
Isidora Sekulić emerged as a seminal Serbian prose writer, novelist, essayist, and art critic whose lyrical, meditative, and introspective writings marked the dawn of modern Serbian literature. Her work delves into the human condition through a distinctly modern sensibility, often challenging conventional narrative structures. In her notable novel, she deliberately deviates from chronological development, beginning each section in a cemetery and tracing events back to moments of vibrant life, complete with their joys and tragedies. Sekulić is also celebrated for creating some of the earliest strong female characters in Serbian literature, portraying them with intricate detail, courage, pride, and unwavering determination.

"Kronika palanačkog groblja", druga Isidorina zbirka pripovedaka objavljena gotovo tri decenije posle prve, delo je pravog majstora pripovedanja, razvijeno istovremeno na psihološkoj i etičko-ontološkoj liniji, dokument, memoari i kreacija u isti mah. Isidora Sekulić obnavlja hroničarski način pripovedanja i napušta radikalni eksperiment, prihvatajući racionalniji odnos prema životnim fenomenima i uvažavajući dostignuća fundamentalnih nauka kao upotrebljivih u umetničkoj i književnoj praksi.
