About
Branislav Nusic iza sebe je ostavio impozantan knjizevni opus. Iako je pisao i romane, price, eseje i drame, najprepoznatljiviji je po svojim komedijama. Među njima znacajno mesto zauzimaju prve dve koje je napisao - Narodni poslanik (1883) i Sumnjivo lice (1888). Oba komada imala su neobican i tezak put ka pozorisnoj publici, pa ne cudi da su postavljena na scenu tek trinaest, odnosno, u slucaju Sumnjivog lica, tek trideset i pet godina kasnije. Iako je u svojim komedijama slikao drustvene anomalije i negativne pojave u srpskom drustvu s kraja XIX i početka XX veka, njegovi, ostrasceni i ambiciozni u svojim nastojanjima da ugrabe vlast, moc, bogatstvo i dominaciju nad drugima, likovi, u velikoj meri prepoznatljivi su i u savremenom drustvu.
-----
Branislav Nusic's first two comedies-Narodni poslanik (A Member of Parliament) and Sumnjivo lice (The Suspect)-are sparkling satires of power, vanity, and small‑town pretensions. Written in the late 19th century but long delayed on stage, these plays lampoon the machinery of public life and the private foibles that keep it running. Nusic's humor is quick and generous, his dialogue bright as brass, and his targets timeless: petty corruption, inflated egos, and the social theater everyone performs. Whether read for pleasure or staged for audiences, Comedies I showcases the playwright who would become Serbia's most beloved comic voice. This Globland edition offers an accessible gateway to Nusic's world-irreverent, humane, and uncannily contemporary.
