A Time of Death

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2013

A wonderful book, well written and so interesting about the Serbian war in 1915. I wish the other three books of the quartet were translated. It is just fabulous, such good job of making characters seem real and deep thinking and a clear insight to the mind of the general. More, more!

This book is amazing and shows the tru nature of Serbian people. Would Amazon, please change the subtitle and say instead that the book is in English and Serbian? Could Amazon please do this out of respect for Dobrica Cosic and Serbian people?
Thanks

A Time of death

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2005

Format: Unknown Binding

This volume, A Time of death, poses a significant problem of determining exactly how to evaluate it. If read simply as a novel, based around real events, but using these as not significantly more than the basis of a story line, then the book is very good - and of course well writen. It is only if you move past that approach, and see the book (and I talk only about this one volume - part 2 I think - as i have not read the others yet) as having a more real historical validity - as history, rather than a novel based on a historical story - that evaluation becomes harder.

Its a deeply troubling problem, as most of the other reviews here tend to treat the book as objective history, which it is not, although it is based on real events, and with very good histroical research underlying its main story line. The best way to describe the problem with the book - and its maybe more a problem with our approach to reading it - can be seen in the subject of betrayal. The characters talk alot about what they see as betrayal, and if the author is using this to express a general feeling in Serbia during the period covered by the book, then this is fine - in fact necessary to give the book a better historical flavour. It is when we move past this understanding, to seeing the notions of betrayal in the book as REAL historical fact, and correct iinterpretation, that problems start.

Did the author intend us to do this, or simply leave it as an expression of the feeling during that time? I do not know the answer to this, yet, but the historical truth of the issues which are assumed to be evaluated as betrayal is at least highly questionable (and of course the underlying notion that Serbia was totally innocent of starting WW1 also highly questionable), and the desire to focus so much on this deeply worrying.

Enjoy the novel(s) and even use them to become interested in Serbia and the period, but do not rely on them as history. Just like films of historical figures should not be seen as historical truth, neither should this book.
