A Tomb for Boris Davidovich (Serbo-Croatian: Grobnica za Borisa Davidoviča / Гробница за Бориса Давидовича) is a collection of seven short stories by Danilo Kiš written in 1976 (translated into English by Duška Mikić-Mitchell in 1978).
Set up as a parallel to "Boris Davidovich", the story deals with Baruch David Neumann, a Jew forced to convert to Christianity during the Shepherds' Crusade (1320).
The story of Baruch David Neumann comes from a translation of the third chapter of Registers of the Inquisition in which Jacques Fournier (the future Pope Benedict XII) had recorded the confessions and testimony.
A. Darmolatov is born in a small town called Nikolaevski, he is inspired by father who is a biologist to pursue an interest in nature at a young age.
He begins reading ancient texts and comes to despise the present, he becomes bored of his environment and the so called "positivistically educated middle class".
In the same year Boro Krivokapić, a Yugoslavian journalist, wrote "Treba li Spaliti Kiša" or "Should Kiš be Burned at the Stake?".
[5] The film is roughly three minutes and directed by Aleksander Kostic, narrated by Predrag 'Miki' Manojlovic, known for Underground (1955), The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch (2008), and The Bra (2018), and illustrated by Dragana Vučetić.
[8] The cast consisted of thirteen members and a fully staffed crew for music, choreography, set design, costumes, lighting, sound, and more.
The play was given positive reviews by Igor Burić, a writer for the Dnevik newspaper in Bulgaria, Mina Petrić on an online journal.
[10] Kiš wrote a book titled The Anatomy Lesson, written in 1978, in which he defended his methods as legitimate, and launched harsh personal and professional attacks on his critics.
[11] In 1981 a book Narcis bez lica by Yugoslav critic Dragan M. Jeremic, was again devoted to in-depth analysis of A Tomb for Boris Davidovich, in which the case for plagiarism has been made again by comparing originals and Kiš' prose in detail.
