Pop Cira i pop Spira

<p>Zasnovan na anegdoti za koju se veruje da mu je licno ispricao njegov ujak Jovan Djordjevic roman <em>Pop Cira i pop Spira </em>(1894) smatra se jednim od najboljih humoristickih romana srpske knjizevnosti. Pored toga sto je nepresusni izvor humora ovo Sremcevo najobimnije delo takodje je i realisticki prikaz vojvodjanskog sela i njegovih obicaja u drugoj polovini 19. veka. Zivot seoske elite dve popovske porodice tece mirno u medjusobnom razumevanju i prijateljstvu; razdor unosi dolazak mladog ucitelja koji može da se ozeni kcerkom samo jednog popa...</p><p>-----</p><p><em>Pop Cira i pop Spira</em> (<em>Priest Cira and Priest Spira</em>) is Sremac at his sunniest: a comedy of manners about two priests whose friendly rivalry gets out of hand. Between parish gossip family schemes and pride with a soft center the novel offers an affectionate portrait of small‑town life where everyone knows your business-and loves you anyway. A classic of Serbian humor rich in character and local color. </p>
