Mihailo Lalić
Mihailo Lalić (7. oktobar 1914 — 30. decembar 1992) je pisac koji se na samom početku književnog rada opredelio za jasan tematski krug (NOR), određeno geografsko podneblje (Crna Gora) i specifičan izbor aktera događaja i romanesknih priča. Započeo je knjigom pesama Stazama slobode (1948), ali se brzo okrenuo prozi, koja će postati isključiva forma umetničkog sagledavanja vremena, događaja i ljudskih sudbina. Prema njegovom scenariju snimljen je film „Svadba“ 1973. u režiji Radomira Šaranovića, takođe izvršena je ekranizacija njegovog romana „Lelejska gora“ 1968.
