During the German bombing of Belgrade on 6 April 1941, Šop was severely injured, which left him bedridden for the rest of his life. The third book contains translations of Šop’s poetry published between 1957 and his death in 1982. By the end of World War II, Nikola Šop was declared an ‘inappropriate poet’ and the Communist regime forbade him to publish his own writings.
