As part of the \u201cDays of the Town of Konjic\u201d celebration, the book The Sun of the Homeland<\/em> by author Sadik Ali\u0107 was presented this evening in the Bosnian Room of the Konjic Public University. The book was promoted by Prof. Dr. Adnan Velagi\u0107 and Prof. Jasmin Mehanoli, with Benjamin Mu\u0161inovi\u0107 serving as the moderator of the event.The Sun of the Homeland<\/em> is dedicated to the author\u2019s native region, Homolje. Through four chapters, the book explores the historical, demographic, ethnological, cultural, and traditional dimensions of this area, richly illustrated with photographs, effectively rendering it a monograph of Homolje. In his remarks, Prof. Dr. Adnan Velagi\u0107 emphasized that the work was born out of the author’s deep love and affection for his homeland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very title of the book, The Sun of the Homeland<\/em>, says a great deal. It signifies that Ali\u0107\u2019s birthplace\u2014Homolje\u2014is, in fact, the sun that illuminates his native land. The book itself is remarkably comprehensive. While it primarily deals with local history, it also reaches into a broader spectrum. It touches not only on historical facts related to Homolje, spanning from the earliest times to the period of aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Sadik Ali\u0107 also delves into genealogy. You can even find traces of literary lyricism and poetry woven into the work. Altogether, it forms a deeply heartfelt expression of love for one\u2019s homeland. I am truly honored to have served as a promoter of such a work\u2014one that I believe will be warmly received by a wider reading audience,\u201d<\/strong> said Professor Velagi\u0107.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”21540″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1750842140663{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Speaking about the book, Professor Jasmin Mehanoli emphasized that it is a valuable literary and historical work.<\/p>\n

“Sadik Ali\u0107 spent a long time carefully collecting material about Homolje, and the book is essentially a monograph and a chronicle of a certain time and memories. The book is well designed, with clear text, good structure, and plenty of nice photos and illustrations, so it will definitely attract readers. Many people from Konjic will surely learn a lot about Homolje and its surroundings\u2014some of which even I didn\u2019t know until I read the manuscript,”<\/strong> said Professor Mehanoli.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

The idea to write the book The Sun of the Homeland came about around twenty years ago, said the author Sadik Ali\u0107. The turning point that led him to seriously dedicate himself to writing his tenth book was the discovery of transcriptions by archaeologist Karl Patsch, in which he found information about Homolje from the medieval period.<\/p>\n

“For every piece of information in the book, there are valid sources. I spent a long time researching and collecting data, often visiting the National Museum, Gazi Husrev-beg Library, the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Herzegovina Archives in Mostar. I wrote in intervals, but in the end, I managed to create a monograph of Homolje. The book has four chapters \u2014 \u2018Homolje in Records and Memories,\u2019 \u2018Homolje in Scientific Research Papers,\u2019 \u2018On the Verge of Oblivion,\u2019 and \u2018Family Tree,\u2019\u201d<\/strong> said Sadik Ali\u0107.<\/p>\n
