Ivan Aralica

Ivan Aralica's novel Dogs in the Market Place (1986) is set in 18th-century Dalmatia, during the period of Venetian rule. The work is a historical novel with elements of philosophical reflection, characteristic of Aralica's style.

The plot follows the fate of a young nobleman, Andrija, who returns to his hometown after studying in Italy. Faced with corruption, hypocrisy, and power struggles in the marketplace, Andrija tries to preserve his ideals, but comes into conflict with local powerful people and their intrigues. The novel depicts the conflict between the individual and the community, where the individual struggles against moral failure and social norms. The titular "dogs" symbolize greed, betrayal, and moral degradation that permeates the marketplace, but also the wider society.

Through layered characters and rich descriptions, Aralica creates a picture of life in Dalmatia, where Venetian influences, local customs, and internal conflicts mix. Issues of justice, honor, and freedom permeate the story, while Andrija faces dilemmas about loyalty to family, love, and his own beliefs. The novel stands out for Aralica's ability to combine historical context with universal themes, such as the struggle for integrity in a corrupt world.

Dogs in the Market is a strong critique of social injustices, but also a meditation on human strength to resist evil, making it an important piece of Croatian literature.
