Branislav Nusic's Hajduci: A Classic Novel for Children
Branislav Nusic (1864-1938) was a famous Serbian writer, journalist, playwright and politician. He is best known for his comedies and satires that depict the life and mentality of the Serbian people. He also wrote several novels and stories for children, among which Hajduci (The Bandits) is the most popular.
Hajduci was published in 1933 and is based on Nusic's own childhood memories. The novel tells the adventures of a group of six boys who live in Smederevo, a town on the Danube river, in the second half of the 19th century. The boys are bored with school and home life, so they decide to form a band of hajduci, or outlaws, who fight against the Turks and other enemies of the Serbian people. They choose a fallen oak tree as their headquarters and make plans to rob caravans, rescue captives, attack fortresses and perform other heroic deeds.
The novel is written in a humorous and lively style, with many dialogues and descriptions that capture the spirit and language of the children. The characters are vividly portrayed, each with their own personality, strengths and weaknesses. The novel also reflects the historical and social context of the time, showing the influence of the Serbian uprising against the Ottoman Empire, the development of education and culture, and the customs and traditions of the rural and urban life.
Hajduci is a classic novel for children that has been translated into many languages and adapted into several films and TV series. It is a timeless story that appeals to young readers with its humor, adventure, friendship and patriotism.
The novel consists of 14 chapters, each describing a different episode in the boys' adventures. Some of the chapters are:

The narrator also expresses his gratitude to his friends for their loyalty and friendship, and hopes that they will always remember their childhood adventures. 061ffe29dd
