Kraljičin vitez: roman iz doba kraljice Jelene

Ivan Raos

A historical novel set in the time of the Croatian Queen Jelena (10th century). The work reconstructs the political and spiritual life of early medieval Croatia, relying on scanty historical sources such as the inscription on the queen's sarcophagus and t

The novel is written in a feuilleton style, which gives it a dynamic and accessible tone, while maintaining literary seriousness. The central figure is Queen Jelena, depicted as a wise and pious ruler who encourages the construction of Our Lady's sanctuary on the island in Solin. Through her character, Raos explores themes of faith, national identity and cultural heritage.

In the "Note" at the end of the novel, Raos expresses his regret for the paucity of historical sources, emphasizing that richer documentation would enable an even deeper reconstruction of that period. Despite this, the author succeeds in conjuring up the spirit of the times and portraying the Croats as a nation that in no way lags behind contemporary European societies.

"The Queen's Knight" is not only historical fiction, but also a reflection on the importance of preserving cultural heritage and identity. The novel is a significant contribution to Croatian literature, providing readers with an insight into one of the key periods of national history.
