Graditelj svratišta

Graditelj svratišta

Ivan Aralica

The inn builder is a realistic historical novel, in the tradition of Andrić, but with elements of fantasy that connect Aralica with the oral Croatian literary word, but also with the fantastic literature of Gabriel García Marques, for example.

The action of the novel takes place at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries during the stormy historical events caused by the revolution in France in 1789. At that time, Croatia was divided: the northwestern part of the country was in the Habsburg Monarchy, and Istria, Primorje and Dalmatia under the rule of the Republic of Venice... In the battles against Napoleon in Italy, on the Austrian side, many Croats took part, among them those from The coasts and Dalmatia that are discussed in the novel... Customs, habits, nature, events, historical and non-historical personalities are created by Aralica with such precision, with almost incredible detail, and with great passion according to strangeness, that the literary image seems unreal. The inn builder, as the crown of the exile tetralogy, is a novel of exceptional persuasiveness: it has a story, destiny, ideas and - almost invisible, which means an excellent language.

Tomislav Domović, Biserka Goleš Glasnović

In Croatia, pacifist poetry appeared as a strong response to war violence, and emerged from the depths of suffering as a form of resistance to war and violence. At the same time, this poetry expressed uncontrolled anger and hope, intuition and memory.
