Gorski Vijenac

The Mountain Wreath (Serbian and Montenegrin: Горски вијенац or Gorski vijenac, in original orthography: Горскıй вıенацъ) is a poem and a play, a masterpiece of Montenegrin and Serbian literature, written by Montenegrin Prince-Bishop and poet Petar II Petrović-Njegoš.

Njegoš wrote The Mountain Wreath during 1846 in Cetinje and published it the following year after the printing in an Armenian monastery in Vienna. It is a modern epic written in verse as a play, thus combining three of the major modes of literary expression. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
