LAZAR K. LAZAREVIĆ
LAZAR K. LAZAREVIĆ _(1851-1891) like the Russian Checkov, was both man / of science and artist. He devoted his youthful years and his life to the / practice and study of medicine, having been appointed in 1885 as / physician to the King of Serbia. During the war between Turkey and / Serbia (1876-78) he served as surgeon, and after that he headed the / staff of a hospital in Belgrade._ / _As a writer he has reproduced humble life oftenest, and he has left / some imperishable portraits of old Serbian characters which can no / longer be found to-day. He has that peculiar mental equipment, which is / found almost exclusively among the Balkan people, the union of sentiment / and ironic humor. He is considered a masterly writer of the short story / of peasant life as it is understood in Slav countries._
