My Tablet

My biography as a young man covering the first 20 years of my life. In the form of a story.

I was born in the north-eastern part of ex-Yugoslavia, a country that split into six (probably even more) countries much later. I wish to tell you about my very early childhood I spent in a small town near the river Danube, which I have named Benghazi and a neighbouring bigger town I called Usumbourgh.

The story begins in the first year of the 1950s covering c. 20 years and ending in 1970. The story involves situations and events from the earliest memories describing outstanding moments of my early childhood spent in Benghazi with tiny details of the history, the political and social situation as well as the different personal profiles of the inhabitants
.
It continues in Usumbourgh with further funny but also quite serious events and description of actions, places and characters with special attention I intended to draw to the education process in the primary and the secondary schools with quite a bit of criticism of it.

I also mentioned family matters and the main characteristics of the social and political background of al actions and activities as well as friends, friendship and human relations that almost all of us encounter.

Therefore, I think it is not only an account of a period of a person's life but also a description of a place and time, and the people, who filled them with their actions and mindsets.
