Lažni car Šćepan Mali (The False Tsar Stephen the Little) by Petar II Petrović Njegoš. Basically, it’s a story recreating a historical event in which people from Montenegro appointed some completely random guy on the throne because they believed him to be Russian tsar Peter III. The book is 100% historically based and very fun to read

I feel bad for Meša Selimović, a Yugoslav writer. Poor dude joined communist resistance forces with his brothers during WWII, only for one of his brothers to later be falsely accused as a thief and killed without a trial by the very same communist government they fought and bled for

I also used to believe they just haven’t found the right book until I figured out my cousin has no imagination at all when it comes to reading. He can’t picture the events, he just reads letters and therefore prefers movies where he can actually see things going on, if that makes sense
