Oto Šolc

The poetry collection "Night" (1964) by Oto Šolc occupies a central place in Šolc's work, connecting his early narrative phase with his later reflective works.

Šolc, a Croatian poet, novelist, essayist and translator, is known for his melancholic tone and introspective style, and “Night” represents a key work of his mature phase, where a synthesis of his earlier and later preoccupations is evident. “Night” is a collection that thematically focuses on introspection, loneliness and the existential search for meaning, often through the symbolism of the night as a space of silence and inner struggle. The poems in the collection explore themes of love, transience and the conflict between the inner world and the outer reality, which is characteristic of Šolc’s oeuvre. The language is rich in lyricism, with an emphasis on poetic imagery and rhythmic prose, reflecting the influence of Croatian modernism and European literary movements.

In the context of Šolc’s oeuvre, “Night” comes after his earlier works such as “Goran and I” (1963) and marks a shift towards deeper philosophical and emotional complexity. Unlike his earlier short stories, such as the one published in Republika (1963), which are more narrative, "Night" focuses on a fragmented, associative form, closer to prose poetry. Compared to his later works, such as essays and translations, the collection represents the pinnacle of Šolc's lyricism, where his ability to capture the subtle nuances of the human soul is evident.
