Author Dr Lazar Trifunovic - Searching for the Lost Smile

Who is Lazar Trifunović?

I have in front of me a remarkable book, with a curious title: Searching for the Lost Smile. Whose smile? The smile of Everyman. A physician from Novi Sad, Lazar Trifunović is the author not only of quite an unusual book, but also of quite an unusual man. He is a travelling-man (homo viator), roaming the world, but he is also a space traveller. Why do I say that? For the simple reason that Lazar Trifunović travelled to all corners of the world while simultaneously journeying inwards, through the labyrinth of his psycho-spiritual life.

Lazar Trifunović

Writer...

I believe that I fell in love with books as soon as I learned to read and this love will be forever.

I had been scribbling for years, endlessly asking myself why I was compelled to do so when none of it made any sense. I had ended up with a collection of disconnected jottings that nobody, least of all myself, could understand or organise into a coherent whole. In September 2012 I travelled to Japan. In Japan, all those musings suddenly fell into place of their own accord and the book was born.

Physician...

After graduating from medical school, wishing to further deepen his understanding of the human body, health and illness, Lazar Trifunović spends time in India and Africa. He then goes to the United Kingdom and enrols into Health Science : Homeopathy, a degree course at Westminster University, London.

Attempting to assemble a “medical mosaic” in the course of his studies, he continues to travel extensively across Asia, Africa and South America and becomes a teacher of yoga. After winning a degree in homeopathy he travels to Tibet, before finally starting his own practice in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Between 2000 and 2007 he visits the Parao Hospital for Lepers in Varanasi, India, once a year for several months in order to gain further expertise.

The Author

The author of the Searching for the Lost Smile, Lazar Trifunović, decided to write led by the idea that the story of his roaming the world could provide signposts for others. As such, the book soon found an audience. The fact that the book has seen eight editions in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina is proof that many readers have taken it in this spirit.

Many book promotion events were held in Serbia, Montenegro and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they were all extremely well attended. The fact that the reading public embraced the book in the manner in which the author hoped they would completes the circle of his efforts.

Comments

Olivera Krstić

“The book that has the power to change lives. Thank you.”

Zorica Karanović

” The book in time became my own journey – it became my own workbook, the questions-whisperer, the giver of answers. It was a bumpy ride, getting into it, feeling unsettled, rejecting it, then coming back, having understood that the staircase goes down as well as up. Realising that everything is ok. Maybe that is where the strength of this book lies. ”

Goran Macić

” My main impression is that the book has the power to change people, it shows the way and makes some difficult and important decisions seem easy.”

Snezana Djurdjić

“The book is authentic, honest, warm and explains many things…I want to thank Lazar for having courage to write about his inner world, and offering insights each reader can recognise within themselves.”

Zorica Pantović

“Simple, direct and deep! Thank you. Rijeka awaits your arrival.”

Natasa Jevtić

“I have never read anything that comes as close to my own search for Being. Reading this book made me realise I am not alone, that I am not the only one who gets into such states, full of questions for which I sometimes cannot find answers. But it is true that everything happens within. And if I have had a moment of awakening…the road is yet ahead of me, wherever I go I take myself with me…”
