Stefano Zannowich (1751 – 1786) was an adventurer from Budva who achieved significant notoriety for his impersonation of royalty. His most notable published work was the 1776 "Turkish Letters".
Work
He wrote in Italian, French, Latin, German, and Serbian.
The most important work was Lettere turche (Template:Lit), first published in Dresden in 1776. Serbian literary historiography never treated them as a novelist. With the latest research and study, Zannowich's work now belongs to the genre of an epistolary novel, a form especially popular in the Age of Enlightenment.
