Jablan
Jablan — Petar Kočić. Lujo waits for tomorrow as if his whole world depends on it. His bull, Jablan, is to face the imperial bull Rudonja. Beginning with a child's tenderness towards an animal, the story follows his wavering fear and pride into the clamour of a public contest. The village at rest beneath the moon and the sudden crash of horns belong to the same mountain life.

Through the Blizzard — Petar Kočić. Relja and his nephew Vujo return from market with their cow unsold. Behind this small failure lies the loss of a household once full of people, livestock and standing in the world. As the road climbs towards the mountain, the story opens into a long recollection of prosperity and its collapse. Returning to the winter night means returning to the little life Relja still has left.
