Veli Jože
Vladimir Nazor
The main character is the brave and good giant Jože, "strong as a bull, with a bushy head", who lives in the vicinity of the Istrian town of Motovun. The book was created on the basis of folk stories and folklore motifs.
Veli Jože is a literary work by the Croatian writer Vladimir Nazor from 1908.
One of the most prolific Croatian writers of our time shares the fate of several others similar to him, that is, the most diligent and educated in contemporary Croatian literature.
