Lazar Mečkić, a scholarly figure by nature, deeply dedicated to the history of his native region, with this book, dispels the gloom and shadows, resurrecting many details about Teodor Pavlović, the renovator of Matica Srpska, a publicist, and an editor of significant Serbian periodicals.
Departing from the realm of science, this reserved yet productive author delves into the past of a portion of the Banat plain, replete with brightness and traces worthy of exploration and publication. Continuously stretched and mentally stretched over this part of the Banat landscape, he delineates and presents to his kin scattered Serbian historical milestones in the plain, unlike any other region in Serbian lands.
Mr. Mečkić, with his monograph "Teodor Pavlović - Life and Work," sheds light on numerous details about the life and work of this great Serb. Following the habits of a scientist, from appearance to name, the author of the publication has unearthed many data significant for our historical science, data that have been hidden for years in the dust of Serbian newspapers and archives.
Serbian libraries will be much richer and warmer with such a Pavlović.
