'Strašna noć' is a short story by Svetolik Ranković in the Serbian realist tradition. It follows a clerk nicknamed 'the Byzantine,' whose exaggerated humility in office life and toward subordinates contrasts with his unruly youth. It is worth listening for its vivid portrait of bureaucratic manners and human inconsistency.
