The literary work of Banja Luka writer Sava Guslov Marčeta was presented at the National Library in Mrkonjić Grad as part of the “Đura’s Poetry Days” cultural event, highlighting her deep connection to the region where her family roots lie.
Guslov Marčeta has published 19 books to date, including two novels, establishing herself as a prolific author whose writing frequently draws inspiration from her homeland.
A particularly significant place in her literary work belongs to the novel Six Ducats for Ikonija.
Speaking about her inspiration, the author emphasized that Mrkonjić Grad and its surrounding villages have remained central themes throughout her poetry and prose.
“I wrote about my native region, about Donje Ratkovo and the Mrkonjić Grad area. Mrkonjić Grad constantly appears in my short stories and poetry. Even in my novel Five Ducats for Ikonija, the main character comes to Mrkonjić Grad to go shopping,” Guslov Marčeta said.
Her literary presentation formed part of the Đura’s Poetry Days program, which celebrates literature and the cultural heritage of the Mrkonjić Grad region.
