Natalija Grgorinić, Ognjen Rađen

The Ližnjan literary and life couple published the biographical-historical novel "Joso", which follows the shocking fate of the forgotten journalist Jose Defranceski from a small Istrian fishing village to a distant South American capital.

In a period of over seventy years, in the territory of one empire, two kingdoms, countless dictatorships and two continents, the relationship between historical events and the private, intimate, small, but inexorable fate of an individual for whom life is a seemingly endless trap, a dead end process through which time turns into history, and ideas into ideologies.
