Petrovitch is a historical account and collection of folk tales, likely written in the early 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive look into the rich cultural and historical fabric of Serbia, exploring topics such as national epics, folklore, and significant historical figures like Kralyevitch Marko and Tsar Lazarus. The book aims to present the essence of the Serbian national character and heritage, making it an intriguing read for those interested in folklore and the historical narratives of the Slavic peoples. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the significance of Serbian national songs and legends, emphasizing their role in preserving the history and cultural identity of the Serbian people through oral tradition. Petrovitch expresses a deep admiration for the poetic qualities of these narratives, asserting that such expressions come from the heart of the people rather than being the product of educated literary figures. Furthermore, it discusses the origins of these songs, tracing their historical context and the social practices surrounding them, thereby setting the stage for the detailed accounts of specific tales and characters that follow in later chapters.
