This book is part of the series "Slavonica - contributions of Slavonia to Croatian literature and history".
This collection contains Mager's sketches, novellas and aphorisms. It shows the life of a Croatian peasant in Slavonia, brings interesting stories from the countryside and depicts the daily life of people in the countryside.
In Croatia, pacifist poetry appeared as a strong response to war violence, and emerged from the depths of suffering as a form of resistance to war and violence. At the same time, this poetry expressed uncontrolled anger and hope, intuition and memory.
In this uncompromising novel, which takes place on the Greek island of Rhodes, in Zagreb and New York, the author takes us to the other side of distinguishing good and evil with his refined and sharp style.
Dundo Maroje and Novela od Stanac are masterpieces of the greatest Croatian renaissance comedy writer - Marin Držić. At the same time, these are his most famous comedies, which belong to the very top of Croatian Renaissance literature.
If the stories and their protagonists could choose, the endings would certainly be different. But the rolling speculations that life and literature place under our feet do not care about such things.
