Seoska uciteljica

<p>Roman Seoska uciteljica (1898) hronoloski je drugi od ukupno tri Rankoviceva objavljena romana. Delo je napisano u manastiru Bukovo gde se pisac lecio od tuberkuloze. Pripada poslednjoj fazi epohe realizma u knjizevnosti pa je u njemu stvarnost prikazana kao sumorna pojednici su beskrupulozni a selo liseno svake idile. Kroz mnogobrojne opise slozenih unutrasnjih monologa pisac nam u ovom psiholoskom romanu prikazuje tragicnu sudbinu mlade Ljubice kojoj susret sa seoskom sredinom u kojoj ova uciteljica dobija svoje prvo zaposlenje neocekivano donosi veliko razocaranje i patnju.</p><p>-----</p><p><em>Seoska uciteljica</em> (<em>The Village Schoolteacher</em>) published in 1898 is the starkest of Svetolik Rankovic's novels and a signature work of late realism. Written during the author's convalescence in the Bukovo monastery the book strips the countryside of romantic varnish: opportunists rise the weak are trampled and ideals grow thin in the dust of everyday necessity. At its center stands the figure of the teacher-educated conscientious and painfully aware of the cost of principle. Rankovic's prose is plainspoken but unsparing; his moral vision exacting. This Globland edition restores a classic that challenged the myth of the idyllic village and set a new standard for social truth in Serbian fiction. </p>
