SAŽETAK /ABSTRACT:
Risto T. Proroković – Nevesinjac belonged to the generation of intellectuals who, at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, carried the torch of enlightenment and the ideal of Serbian national liberation and unification in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Born in 1869, a year after Aleksa Šantić, he preceded Svetozar Ćorović (1875–1919), Petar Kočić (1877–1916), and Risto Rinda Radulović (1880–1915) in that constellation, sharing with them the tragic fate of freedom fighters whose lives were prematurely consumed in the fight for the national cause. He died in his native Nevesinje in 1908, ravaged by tuberculosis at the age of thirty-nine, after having been expelled from the country by the Austrian authorities in 1895. He first fled to Montenegro, where he was likewise not politically welcome, and soon relocated to Serbia—initially to Pirot, and later settling in Belgrade, where he published his most significant works between 1902 and 1908.
