Ćosić, Dobrica

Ćosić, Dobrica

▪ Serbian novelist, essayist, and politician
born Dec. 29, 1921, Velika Drenova, Serbia

      Serbian novelist, essayist, and politician, who wrote historical novels about the tribulations of the Serbs.

      After attending agricultural school, Ćosić served in World War II with the Yugoslav communists known as Partisans and afterward became a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and of the government. His strong Serbian nationalism caused him to be expelled from office in 1968. Ćosić rejoined politics in the 1990s, serving as president of Yugoslavia in 1992–93, during the first year of its re-formation. He was ultimately brought down, however, by extreme Serbian nationalists.

      Ćosić examined the resistance movement and other aspects of Serbian involvement in World War II in the novels Daleko je sunce (1951; Far Away Is the Sun) and Deobe (1961; “Divisions”). Koreni (1954; “Roots”) chronicles the establishment of Serbian independence from the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. Tracing characters introduced in Koreni, Ćosić produced the four-volume epic Vreme smrti (1972–79; A Time of Death), a work set during World War I. Ćosić brought the story into the mid-20th century with the trilogy Vreme zla (1990; “A Time of Evil”), which comprises Grešnik (1985; “Sinner”), Otpadnik (1986; “Renegade”), and Vernik (1990; “Believer”). He also wrote the novels Bajka (1966; “A Fable”) and Racines (1992). Ćosić's nonfiction works include Kosovo (2004) and Vreme, prijatelji (2005; “Time, Friends”).
