READING — WRITING OF THE BIOGRAPHY OF ST. FRANCIS IN MILOŠ CRNJANSKI’S LOVE IN TUSCAN

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the well-known Miloš Crnjanski’s travell-book Ljubav u To- skani (Love in Tuscany) in which one chapter, „Assisi” is dedicated to St. Francis as a saint-protector of Italy, „the lover” of Poverty, „the liberator” of body and love, as well as the lover of nature. Crnjanski uses very unusual procedures: he dramatizes the scenes from the Saint’s life, points to other texts (Celanski, St. Bonaventura, Fioretti, Goethe, Bourget), reads Nature as a book, that is as a monument to solve the issue of representing the Saint’s biography in a satisfactory way. Essentially, it is the case of a textual approach to the world. The persons, including Francis himself, are determined by what they read. „Good reading” is always a kind of living somebody else’s life.
