Naše veliko spravišče: desertni roman s izvornim geografskim podrijetlom

Petar Babić

Petar Babić's novel Naše velko spravišče was based on a folk theater play, which was based on a legend from the 14th century about the reconciliation of the noble Kalnik peasants Šljivar and the Purgers of Varo.

The core of the play is the famous "Križevački Statutes", and tradition says that the rules were written down just for that occasion during a three-day wine reconciliation, from Friday to Holy Sunday. The act of reconciliation had to be reinforced with two roasted oxen, a gift from the townspeople, and full barrels of local wine, a gift from the noble peasants, and at the same time, a wedding was taking place, constantly on the verge of a mass brawl, of the son of the castellan of Podkalnica, Julček, who was mentally undercapacitated and physically gifted. and daughters of the town judge, tending to the gifted.

With a series of plots, comedic, farcical and grotesque scenes immersed in hectoliters of wine, which helps to clarify the character, unpredictability and tension, all local problems will finally and ironically be solved one drunken night in Krlež, on Vidovdan 1914.

In addition to a fine style that preserves both the authenticity and the archaic layers of the language, Babić equipped the book with several hundred footnotes that are a small encyclopedia of the Križevci region and its prominent people up to the present day, and also added a dictionary of kajkavisisms and graphic attachments and created a unique combination of renovated historical novels and an ethnological collection.
