Osmi patuljak

Milan Krmpotić

Lad's quest culminates with the outbreak of the Homeland War, which forces him to confront reality and redefine his identity.

Krmpotić uses the symbolism of the "eighth dwarf" as a metaphor for an individual who does not fit into social norms, exploring themes of identity, freedom, and meaning in contemporary society. The novel combines elements of fantasy and reality, reality and dream, creating a layered narrative that encourages introspection.

The Eighth Dwarf stands out as a significant work in Croatian literature, offering deep insight into the human psyche and social challenges.
