Petar Kočić / Short story
Jablan
19 min
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.
