Sarajevo Assassination in the Poem off Tomislav Marković „Iz srpskog ratnog bukvara“: Unmasking of the Serbian Mythology

Summary/Abstract: Sarajevo assassination and the assassinator Gavrilo Princip have been a subject of a host of artistic pieces including pieces of literature, art, theatre and music for a hundred of years. In this paper, the author investigates the manner in which a great historical topic has affected literature i.e. in what way have the assassination and the participants, led by Gavrilo Princip, been interpreted in literature. The paper further investigates the manner in which, within those interpretations, the historical and literary discourses have been interlaced. This paper is intended to draw attention to divergent perception of Sarajevo assassination and the assassinator Gavrilo Princip within Serbian literature and what are the effects of the event in literature in different social - historical contexts. Finally, we are reaching a conclusion that pieces related to this subject are divided into two groups: on one side there are authors who have used literature as a medium for projection and establishment of what they consider historic truth and, on the other side, there are pieces of literature which have been inspired by that historic event but have kept aesthetic - moral dignity by not becoming a servant of any ideology.
