Life and Adventures of Dimitrije Obradović

Life and Adventures of Dimitrije Obradović, named in his monastic life as Dositej, written by him and published as such is the autobiographical work of Dositej Obradović, which marks the beginning of modern Serbian literature in the vernacular. It is Dositej's first book published in 1783 in Leipzig in three hundred copies. Dositej wrote his autobiography in two parts; in the first he talks about his childhood, and in the second he describes his travels in the form of letters. This work is not only a testimony to the life of the writer, but also to the Serbian society of the 18th century, which Dositej critically observed and analyzed.
