Photomonograph Herzegovina
This is a story of Herzegovina, presented in pictures and words, and as far as we know published in such an edition for the first time. It is the fruit of patient and modest toil, performed by people who have been united in love for their own areas and roots, as well as in sublime research on the values around us the values we always discover anew and which we do not actualize for ourselves or present to the world without reason. Grateful acknowledgements are due to the publisher, to the managements of all the communities in Herzegovina, to the Socialist Alliance of the region, and especially to the authors to all who have contributed with their knowledge, support and help of different kinds in the publishing of this monograph. The book speaks about Herzegovina a unique area in Yugoslavia, which has known traces of life for more than fifteen thousand years. The presented texts tell us of the past, of all the hardships encountered by the people who have lived and dwelt in this area, where man still performs his creativity. They also speak of those periods in history which have fallen into oblivion, but which are nevertheless preserved in the remains of the past: burial mounds, tumuli, ruins of fortifications, standing tomb stones, and old inscriptions. The history is rich, manifold, troubled and... complicated. Thus it is natural to present this history substantially and concisely. In some things it is incomplete mostly when it does not narrate about life but explains it too much, having a predetermined stand. opinion... The line which starts from old charts, inscriptions on standing tomb-stones (which are in themselves a richness and a treasure compared to what we find in greater cultures and epochs), and which goes over folk songs, cultural and historical monuments and the heritage as a whole, tells us of a specific and versatile life. That was a life in which the destiny of the Herzegovinians was going asunder, up to the moment when they themselves started curbing the development in the last World War and in the Socialist Revolution and this they did together with other peoples in this country. This came about in spite of goings astray, abysses, different precipitations, disagreements and limitations which the same war gave insight into. The war made these problems perhaps more discernible in Herzegovina than in any other place.
