"U svojoj testamentarnoj knjizi Dobrica Ćosić, kao značajan svedok epohe, ispisuje burnu i prelomnu istoriju Srbije prve decenije XXI veka. Ovom knjigom Ćosić okončava dnevničke zapise koje je vodio preko šest decenija. Ti zapisi, uz to, prvi put rasvetljavaju Ćosićev intimni doživljaj života, njegov odnos prema porodici, ali i odnos prema samom činu pisanja. Kako se i zašto istorija i dalje poigrava sa Srbijom? Kuda smo se zaputili? Kako smo i zašto izgubili Kosovo? Ovo su samo neka od pitanja koja Ćosić promišlja, pokušavajući da razume i rasvetli ulogu različitih političkih, kulturnih i javnih ličnosti u novoj Srbiji u kontekstu nove geopolitičke podele sveta." -- cover. "In this book of his testamentary, Dobrica Cosic, as an important witness of recent history, wrote a turbulent history of Serbia in the first decade of the XXI century. In this book Cosic ends gives diary entries, with background information from more than six decades earlier. These writings, in addition, for the first time shed light on Cosic's intimate experience of life, his relationship with his family, and relationship to the act of writing. How and why is history is still screwing with Serbia? Where are we headed? How and why did we lose Kosovo? These are just some of the questions Cosic writs about, trying to understand and clarify the role of various political, cultural and public figures in the new Serbia, in the context of new geopolitical divisions of the world." -- Cataloger's translation and summary of cover.
