Filip David
Filip David was a prominent Serbian writer, born in 1940 into a Jewish family that suffered during the Holocaust. As one of the foremost literary figures in the South Slavic languages, he was known for his profound exploration of themes related to identity, memory, and the impact of war. David was a vocal opponent of Slobodan Milošević's regime during the Yugoslav Wars, advocating for reconciliation among the warring ethnic groups in the region. His notable works include 'The Book of Memory and Forgetting' and 'Pilgrims of Heaven and Earth', which earned him the prestigious NIN Award. David's literary voice and moral stance made him a significant figure in contemporary Serbian literature until his recent passing, marking the end of an era among the 'big four' Serbian writers.
