Olga i Lina

Olga i Lina

Eugen Kumičić

The novel "Olga and Lina" by Eugen Kumičić, a famous Croatian writer from the period of realism, is one of his works in which he explores complex interpersonal relationships, moral dilemmas and social norms.

The story follows the lives of two sisters, Olga and Lina, who are completely opposite in their characters and destinies. Olga is calm, prudent and morally strong, while Lina is impulsive, passionate and prone to make rash decisions. Their different personalities become crucial in plots that revolve around love, family and social expectations.

The sisters fall in love with the same man, and the love triangle causes a series of emotional conflicts and reversals. Olga, always putting others before herself, decides to retire, sacrificing her own happiness for the sake of her sister. Lina, although initially happy, because of her impulsiveness and reckless decisions, comes into conflict with society and her own conscience.

Opposing the characters of Olga as a symbol of goodness and nobility of the Croatian people and Lina as a representative of European hypocritical society, Kumičić criticizes the Croatian domestic nobility, which is morally collapsing under the increasingly negative influence of foreigners. The novel was published in 1881 and is Kumičić's first naturalistic work.
