The life story of a Serbian woman over a period of more than 70
years, preserved in memoirs, letters and mostly diaries, recounts
the triumphs and tragedies of a life that takes place against the
backdrop of extraordinary turbulence in the Balkans. It covers more
than half a century, five wars (including the two world wars), and
four ideologies. This is a time of excitement in Serbia as its
leaders carve an independent state out of the Ottoman Empire and
attempt to modernize a largely rural and backwardA" corner of
Europe. A time of opportunity for many who join in the effort to
build the infrastructure of a modern economy, as well as the
growing number of middle class families who send their children, in
rare cases even girls, to the emerging system of state schools.
Above all, a time of war, as the expanding Serbian state comes into
conflict with its neighbors and, ultimately, the Great Powers of
Europe. Accompanied by an introductory study, Natalija's diary
provides a rich background to understanding the on-going conflict
in the Balkans today.
