Professional situation

Emilija (Milica) Lazić translated from the French language. In 1845, she published the translation of Robinson Crusoe in Belgrade. The translation, although literal and intricated, was successful, and in 1873, it appeared as the second edition, also in Belgrade. The translation was followed by numerous illustrations, which caused great interest.
