Abstract

At the intersection of the two tumultuous centuries, in 1900 a poetry collection titled “Pobratimstvo“ (“Blood Brotherhood”) was published in Belgrade. The collection was aimed at the fraternization of the brothers of the same blood, sons of the same mother, parts of the same people, sharing the same language and glorious past – the fraternization of Orthodox Christians and Muslims, alienated by the faith which had led them in different spiritual directions, as believed by the intellectual elite of the time. This noble goal went down a rocky road, it encountered turbulent circumstances, and the publication of the collection did not signify the end of the road where the pen and the sword would join forces several times to reach the final, never accomplished unity. The paper presents this very road, as well as the historical and political circumstances leading to the creation of such poetry collection
