"Sikamura" is a collection that does not offer clear answers, but rather encourages the reader to interpret and reflect, making it demanding but significant in the context of contemporary literature.
The collection "Spring in Badrovac" (published in Belgrade in 1955 by Prosveta, reprinted in Zagreb by SKD Prosvjeta in 2019) brings together short stories written by Desnica in the 1950s, focused on a Dalmatian village in post-war chaos.
The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
Young Edek lives with his elderly father who tries to keep his son by his side. The boy's longing for freedom and a girl clashes with his father's possessiveness. The pigeons symbolize unattainable freedom. The conflict leads to a tragic ending.
Inšalh, Madonna, Inšalah by Miljenko Jergović is a collection of stories whose richness of motifs and emotions branches out like carved ivory – in each story a story, in each destiny an entire world.
The book is not a novel, but a collection that mixes short stories, drama, and essay fragments, with a focus on death, power, and existential dilemmas.
