Exhibition of letters “When Words Flow out” was opened on Friday, May 11, 2018. The author of the exhibition is Boris Kaluđerović, library consultant of the National Library.
This exhibition presents a selection of letters from the Manuscript and Documents Collection of the Library. It consists of letters written by public figures and celebrities who have already become part of history, but it also contains letters written by some less known individuals who through their sentences impeccably contoured the spirit of the time in which they lived.
Speaking about the exhibition, author Boris Kaluđerović said that the letter is “intimate, it carries the scent of the person who writes it, and some traces of the place where the sender is located. The manuscript shows the character of the person; it allows us to understand his/her feelings based on the spot where he/she stopped or accelerated writing”.
“Careful reading can surprise us when we least expect it. In all letters, whether they are friendly, love, family, political, or other, there is a certain respect for the person to whom the letter is addressed and the desire for clarity of expression. We, the readers of these letters, still have to try to understand their context and historical sources will open up for us”, Kaluđerović concluded.
The actress Ana Vujošević also spoke at the exhibition and pointed out that for her writing letters is an intimate act, which carries a special feeling.
“We should not reduce the importance of responding to the letter, as well”, said Vujošević.
In the end, in front of numerous visitors of the exhibition, she read “Tatyana’s letter to Onegin” by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin.
