"Serbia in Light and Darkness" by Nikolaj Velimirović is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide insights into the historical struggles, sufferings, and hopes of the Serbian nation, juxtaposing aspects of Serbian life in both its periods of peace and its times of hardship and oppression. It seeks to convey not only the experiences of the Serbian people but also their unwavering spirit and resilience through adversity. At the start of the book, Velimirović sets the tone by expressing gratitude to the English for their support of Serbia during the ongoing world conflict. He reflects on the deep cultural and historical ties between Serbia and England, emphasizing shared ideals of justice and democracy. The opening introduces the theme of suffering and resilience that characterizes Serbian identity, highlighting the moral strength and hope that emerge from their painful history. Through personal anecdotes and historical references, the author prepares the reader for a profound exploration of Serbian culture—its values, legends, and enduring quest for freedom against oppressive forces.
