Aspekti autobiografije u Milanu Narandžicu Jakova Ignjatovica

Main goal of the study is to enlighten the "realism before realism" of Jakov Ignjatovic according to his biography. In the beginning of his career he wrote romantic novels, but in his ripe ages he felt obliged to summarise his life and assess his perspectives. In addition he had just been over an unsuccesful marriage which ended up with a sudden devorse. These were the circumstances which determined the birth of the novel "Milan Narandžic", which contains autobiographic elements both in direct and indirect forms. This work is an important moment of Ignjatovic's life-work and also in the history of the Serbian novel.
