2. “THE SECRET OF THE YELLOW SUITCASE”

"The secret of the yellow suitcase"1 is novel by Olivera Nikolova published in 1965. The main

narrator is eight years old Catherine. However, although it is her real name in the novel no one

addressed so primarily because of age, and then for affectionately that her address. Everyone

usually names her with Kiki, and in only one case with - Kate. Personally it botheres her very

much: "Her long and officially named, by adults, yet it was deserved. ... Would it be displeasing

to you to not have the right to wear it, because I still have not been enrolled in school’s documents“

(p.7).

The reason that small Kiki does not go to school is a war for which her father does not want to

send to school, not only because of the danger, but also because: "He probably wanted to have me

in spite of himself, but more likely – he was not willing to learn the first letters on a foreign

language“ (p.7).

Precisely because resistance to foreign education is the reason why small Kiki cannot go to school

and will be not only a witness but also a participant in the events of her family. Precisely because

the events are seen through the lens of the eyes of Kiki, they gain customer dimension of mystery.

The biggest mystery is about the contents of the yellow suitcase which sometimes disappears,

sometimes appears, sometimes is empty, and sometimes is full, which in Kiki born desire to

explore: "When we already brought it with us, It is strange – but where could it disappeared?;

1 Olivera Nikolova, Tajnata na zoltoto kuferce, Misla, Skopje, 1986.

"After a week, a yellow suitcase it was still in place. I found it in the morning, and I was so excited

that I felt I could scream“ (p.27).

Very much mysterious conversations stretch around Kiki between adults and she accidentally

caught several secretive glances and mysterious verbal messages and it strengthens her desire to

be treated equally as adults and emulating template for that is her older cousin Tommy.

Her composure and ability to prove as adult she shows in sequence critical moments, as when is

the bombing of the city and all flee to the shelter, and that at the last moment she returns because

she will hear the weak voice of her younger brother and saves him: „ And my father before all

boasted me that I'm very brave and not at all look like other girls on my age“ (p.16).

Then follows fleeing to the countryside, where children, including the Kiki, accept hunger, cold

and fear as adults and do not rebel against the conditions. Children, Kiki and Tommy, exhibit a

great desire to see the guerrillas, because among them is father of Tommy and that at the end of

the novel will find that he is actually dead. But during all that time before they find out the truth

about his tragic fate, Kiki as all, feels proud of their family having partisan"-And my husband is

partisan - said my aunt. I first heard this for my uncle and I was amazed. But Tommy proudly

shaking my hand. He looked like he knew sooner“ (p.41).

And through this narrative sequence, from the conceptual point of view, the author introduces one

important point where the patriotism is born in child, in particular - the crown stories about Kiki

and Tommy, their parents, wounded partisan, secret that is hidden in the yellow suitcase etc

(Drugovac, 1986”345).

In this novel, the author introduces us to a time of war, a daunting uncertainties about the heroes

whose game continues, but this time with other means and other purposes, among other things, to

witness the heroic events of our Revolution; true to her’s aesthetic concept, Nikolova and this time

does not goes with moralizing, not patriotising, does not lecture and preaches, acting on our

knowledge only through subtext suggestions of where comes ethical notion of the heroic children

feat (Drugovac, 1986:345).

Through the episodes with wounded partisans whom extend assistance, exhausting running with

Tommy thru the wood in the night to see partisans, meeting with Mrs. Flora, their former neighbor,

escape from the enemy as the greatest evil - all this is reflected in the children soul, and through

encouragement to endure, it is nourishing their patriotic feeling: "How much I regret that you live

in such a time, my beloved ... But all these will pass, you will see ... Be brave children…(p.61).

And, indeed, the children try to do their best not to cause additional problems of the elderly, and

even behave as adults in certain situations: "We have stopped talking about dangers...“ (p.67).

3. “ROSICA’S DOLLS”

The novel "Rosica's Dolls"2 is one of the few Macedonian historical novels written by a

female author. Its distinctiveness on the one hand, is the selection of a national historical subject

by a woman author, and on the other hand, that the main character in the historical events described

is also a woman.

The events taking place in it are placed in the second half of the nineteenth century, from

1879 to 1899. Divided into three chapters, each of which deals with the beginning of a decade, the

novel shows a stormy and still insufficiently clarified developments related to the beginnings of

the creation of the Macedonian national identity.

Dedication of this book clearly indicates its dual nature, where Nikolova says that the novel

is based on the available documents from Bulgarian, Serbian and Macedonian sources: „Historical

facts and figures in it are interpreted in a free literary context“ (p.5). Historiographical point is

marked by short introductions to each decade, entitled "Glossary of calendar years" that the events

which follow are placed in a wider historical framework.

The first "Dictionary" begins in 1879, when "a year after the signing of the Agreement of

Berlin, the International Border Commission, which borders of Bulgaria still have not yet been

determined or to Turkey, or to Eastern Rumelia, for the first time in June conditionally marked

the frontier to Macedonia and Dupnishko and Dzhumajsko...“ (p.9).

So the first "Dictionary" begins with the physical demarcation of the area of present-day

Macedonia, i.e. with its separation from the then newly formed Bulgarian state, and the last ends

in 1899, with the Austrian writer Karl Hron, which illuminates the Macedonian issue from a

historical and linguistic aspects.

But he predicts that his dismissal, because of the confusion of the political circumstances in the

Balkans, it will belong to a later generation. The pages between these time entries are filled with a

multitude of historical figures, their conversations, their written documents that are mention or

cited.

All those who parade through the pages of the novel are large man, already known (for good or

bad) in Macedonian or Bulgarian history of this period - Dimitar Miladinov, Marko Cepenkov,

Kuzman Shapkarev, Gorgija Pulevski, Prlicev, Bishop Nathaniel Kuchevishki of course, Goce

Delcev, a character who at the end of the novel gets a special meaning and symbolism.

Amid all their big talk and actions, and big plans for the liberation of Macedonia, the main

character (the subject) of Nikolova and witness to most of these events is mute girl Rosica. Rosica

character as a subject in this novel, contributes further to his uniqueness, diversity compared to

other historiographical prose in Macedonian literature, functioning on several levels. First, into the

historical framework she brings personal history, a history that is present in people's memory,

which remained secondary or less relevant than (official) history.

In the first chapter, entitled "Separation" it said: "Rosica left the past behind. But instead

remembering, she first had to learn to speak“ (p.11).

2 Оливера Николова, Куклите на Росица, Култура, Скопје, 2003.

Inability to speak for Rosica is an additional factor that increases the feeling of forgetting by the

history as fate determinant for the woman - she has no access to the language as a way of

communication and therefore she remains on the margins of history that they have created, she is

always there to convince, but never enough to present to notice what she witnessed, let alone

participate in it.

And that language, i.e. Macedonian in that historical context and often even unnamed, not created,

not yet codified, another language, one different from the Bulgarian and Serbian, repeatedly is

mentioned by Gorgija Pulevski, character who is key unifying factor of the Macedonian people,

specific identity sign that marks different from the other, forming a separate national

consciousness: „Everyone should turn to their mother language, he said, to introduce themselves

and their nation. We are Macedonians and our fatherhood is Macedonia and Macedonia had been

praised in the time of Alexander the great, what to tell you more! Should we remind ourselves of

Cyril and Methodius, who translated the Greek church books on our language, which is closest

with church Slavic?“ (p.63-64).

However, Rosica exclusion of the great history does not mean her lack of her own history. Inability

to enter in the language that works, she compensate or be replaced by a different one - making

dolls.

Through her dolls, Rosica not only becomes a part of this universal discourse, but she intervened

in recorded history, Преку своите кукли, Росица не само што станува дел од овој универзален

дискурс, туку таа и интервенирала во забележаната историја, with the choice of which doll

will do, and how the doll will display man against whom he has made, because she cannot do doll

if there is no character for her: „And the dolls were beings and what will it being be without

character and biography“(p.20).

Thus, through dolls, Rosica tells history as she sees her, and this narrative "provides a link between

the private and public history because all historical events are someone’s direct experiences“.

Through puppets, Rosica transfers her point of view on things, her image for the people she

encounters, and their desires about what she would like them to be: "... The same night Gorgija

Pulevski doll revived in the hands of Rosica. The old man was not sad anymore, or resentful. His

whole face was shining with a light that showed the elders in Buchin, when they awaken

grandchildren in the morning for going to the field with tobacco ... Rejoiced Rosica, twinkled with

delight.... Was Gorgija Pulevski on the wedding, was he was baptising some of his grandchild?

Was he going to the church? His shoes were brand new, still not soiled on the Macedonian

battlefields, still not chopped of Macedonian hills, they gathered itself muggy colorful knitted

socks...“(p.166).

With this narrative, and the choice of Rosica as a way to perpetuate those who are inclined with

the dolls, opens the question of subjectivity in observation and interpretation of historical data.

Mostly in black and white world of interpreting national histories, the female subject brings

a lot of nuances, such as pages devoted to the intimate parts, spiritual and national turmoil Bishop

Nathaniel Kuchevishki for which official national history acted critically. Hence, it is clear that

the personal and subjective have equally influenced the history as (abstract, elusive) universal and

objective, and it is fully confirmed by the personal, love story of Rosica: „..in her real world ....

unaware, she repeatedly searched the causes of others' preferences, what was the secret someone

to love you, and someone does not stand you, someone to believe you without verification, and

someone to risk his life just for a glance thrown upon you?“ (p.105).

At the end of the novel, when on the p. 270 we reveals her surname, Rosica becomes self-conscious

entity - she finally becomes an individual, an active participant rather than just a silent observer of

events. Her personal narrative becomes part of the history through the act of awakening, awakening

of the female body and first through the experiencing of physical love with Andon, then through

pregnancy, the symbiosis of her body with new life.

This transformation reveals and another level to which the entity Rosica operates, the level that

put her in position as a kind of metaphor for the entire Macedonian nation in the historical moment

in which she is situated.

The titles of specific sections in each decade (Separation, Languish, Demarcation, Enchanted), are

indicative of the processes of collective destiny of the Macedonian people in that period:

„Considering the whole lost to former fighters for the liberation of Macedonia, as beneficiaries of

state pensions of newly created country, Bulgaria, sadly revealing their thirst for some certain

property as it had at home: they had nothing more....“ (p.137).., and at a certain moment Rosica

also starts to review the meaning of her existence: "How did she live? She lived only for mockery

of others? For ugly comparison? For pity? .... What did she wanted? What did she yearning to

happened to her?“ (p.219).

Rosica simplicity, and simplicity of her people, in the time of great intrigues, pressures and impacts

in the search for true leaders and happy future, inevitably lead to wrong choices. Hope is shown

through the character of Goce Delcev (one that correspondence, because he knows how to

communicate to the people on their language) and thru the child to be born, and dies prematurely,

and the entire Macedonian nation, faced with internal divisions and fraud. Thus, the history of

the Macedonian people is actually identified with the history of women, especially women's

writing - here's marginality in relation to the big (male or national) discourse, denying the

uniqueness in terms of universality (male or Slavic), and the process the awakening of that

distinctiveness through promotion of the national language as a national landmark or corporeality

as an authentic source of creativity.

The novel "Rosica's Dolls" by Olivera Nikolova conveys Macedonian fate closely, making

personal story of the Macedonian golgotha. Mute and raped Rosica becomes a metaphor for

violated and stiff Macedonia. The message from this work, the author Olivera Nikolova transfers

starting from history where she recognizes the continuity of long struggles for national freedom

and the desire for emancipation. Through the past, she recognizes the present and through the

present feels the future, because our present was the future of our ancestors. And the future of our

descendants, we dream today, in our present. With each passing moment we spend in the past, and

again this past becomes a factor for survival of those who will come after us.3
