Migrations

Miloš Crnjanski · 1893–1977 · Serbia

Originally Seobe (Serbo-Croatian)

Why it matters

Serbian soldiers serving the Habsburg Empire drift across the eighteenth century's wars in restless, lyrical prose. A modernist epic of people who never stop moving and never quite arrive.

At a glance

Lyrical, fragmentary modernist prose and a deliberately restless, disorienting structure.
