Vlada Uroshevic
At times it seemed that the very hemisphere was something alive – it swelled and trembled like some open organism which despite a hideous wound continues to pulse.

Diva liga – Wild League, the novel of the prominent Macedonian writer Vlada Uroshevic deals with a current and an intriguing theme – theft of an archeological cultural treasure. The conveying of a subject like these upon the Macedonian ambient is completely justified due to its constant presence in the media in the last decade. Uroshevic confidently leads his narrative which resembles a crime-novel within an ambient which is well known to him (Skopje, Ohrid, Paris) and is also strengthened by many and various historical and anthropological data, thereby making the story completely plausible, colourful and authentic. The Balkans and Macedonia as its central part are a magical space where many civilizations met and crossed during the centuries – East and West, North and South – and in their soil treasures from most ancient times could be found. Their signs have unusual and mysterious powers as well.
