Abstract

The idea of a connection between sports and literature sometimes does not seem intuitive. However, considering that it is said that literature gives another meaning to the reality, thus depicting social circumstances, sport is one of the topics that many novelists have dealt with. Apart from the role of sport in literature, this paper also examines the connection between the novelist and sport as such, especially through the life and works of Miloš Crnjanski. Although novelists are usually perceived as lonely utopians who rarely engage in everyday social activities, this paper’s findings show the opposite especially through the analysis of the persona and works of Miloš Crnjanski, who was one of the founders of a sports magazine "Sportista". Through sports, Miloš Crnjanski displayed his extremely adventurous life, but also his patriotism. Besides his rich legacy in literature, his role in sports in the Yugoslav society remains indelible. Therefore, this paper aims at showing the connection between sports and literature by examining one novelist’s life circumstances.
