Musinka
Through the novel, Budak portrays the typical Lika mentality, the cruelty of nature and life, and the strong connection of people with tradition and religion.
"Musinka" is a novel by Mile Budak, published in 1941. The plot takes place in rural Lika and depicts the life of the main character, Musinka, a young woman who goes through difficult life circumstances, confronting social norms, the patriarchal system and personal tragedies.
The work is written in a realistic style, with elements of social themes, and is characterized by the author's recognizable language and picturesque descriptions of the Lika region.
Since Mile Budak is a controversial historical figure, his literary work has often been viewed through the prism of his political role in the NDH. However, "Musinka" stands out most as a work that depicts the difficult position of women in the society of the time.
