Summary/Abstract: It has not been written much about the Serbian Realism and Serbian peasant in Romanian language. In Henri Zalis’s publication of bibliographic contributions Naturalism in Romanian Literature, he emphasizes the fact that Serbian Realism was still dominated by Russian writers and that it preserved the dilatory traces of the XVIII century Romanticism, and that it was still determined by the influences of the utopian materialism and socialism. Realism is an artistic, literary concept which reflects objectivity and presents the reality truthfully. Realism writers depicted the social life, representing the man as a product of society he lives in, yet the characters are typical and they represent a whole category of individuals. The characteristics of Realism are: objectivity, sobriety, social criticism, thoughtful presentation of reality. Serbian Realism appears in the second half of the XIX century, more accurately in the last decades of the XIX century and it is connected to socio-democratic activities, of Svetozar Marković (1846-1875).
