Стварност — фикција — истина (Грци у историјским романима Добрила Ненадића)
REALITY – FICTION – TRUTH (GREEKS IN THE HISTORICAL NOVELS OF DOBRILO NENADIĆ)

Summary/Abstract: Theoretical approaches to the relationship between truth and fiction in literature range from the viewpoint that literature as fiction does not adhere to criteria of truthfulness and untruthfulness, to the Aristotelian concept, according to which the truth in literature (paradigmatic, universal) exists, to transitional perspectives. The historical novels of Dobrilo Nenadić (Brian, Dorotej, Despot and the Victim), observed as cultural-historical novels, both in terms of genre and in terms of the relationship between material and fiction, reality and the world of diegesis and chronotope, have proven to be exceptional material for this type of study. In this context, the work, on theoretical-interpretative foundations, identifies several modes of the relationship between truth and fiction in Nenadić’s aforementioned novels, reflected through the image of Greeks (Byzantines) in the chronotope of medieval Serbia. These modes include the relationship between fiction and logical truth, fiction and factual, historiographical truth as material. Lastly, the fifth mode consists of the relationship of the truthfulness of the artistic narrative within the world of diegesis, questioning, within the world of the story, the truthfulness of words.
