Korespondencija hrvatskih pisaca

The book Correspondence of Croatian Writers (Korespondencija hrvatskih pisaca), compiled and edited by Academician Tomislav Sabljak (published in 2002 by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts — HAZU), represents an exceptionally valuable documentary and literary-historical contribution to the study of Croatian literary heritage. This extensive volume presents precious epistolary material—letters, postcards, and notes—exchanged among prominent Croatian writers, intellectuals, and cultural figures across various historical periods. Through this published correspondence, Sabljak opens the door for readers and researchers to the "behind-the-scenes" world of Croatian literary life. The letters reveal not only the creative processes behind specific literary works, aesthetic debates, and editorial arrangements, but also the personal dramas, friendships, rivalries, and socio-political pressures the authors faced. The work is equipped with a thorough scholarly apparatus, including commentaries and notes that facilitate an understanding of the historical and biographical context. Correspondence of Croatian Writers thus serves as an indispensable resource for literary historians, philologists, and all researchers of Croatian cultural history.
