  • Kanjoš Macedonović

    Kanjoš Macedonović — Stjepan Mitrov Ljubiša. Kanjoš goes to Venice as a merchant and returns with a commission better suited to a hero of epic poetry. Yet Ljubiša’s tale is in no hurry to reach the duel. First it takes us through waiting rooms, customs demands and polished speeches, then back to the Paštrovići, where the cost of protection and freedom is debated without ceremony. The small man must confront both a giant and other people’s ideas of what a hero should look like.

Hlapić takes little with him: some food, a few shoemaker's tools, and the boots that caused a quarrel in the workshop. His most important possessions cannot be packed in a satchel. They are his ability to mend things and his habit of taking other people's troubles seriously. His journey begins as an escape from injustice, but soon becomes a succession of encounters in which he must decide what he owes to strangers.
