Čudovište iz predgrađa

Franz Herwig

The novel The Monster from the Suburbs, published in 1936 by the Spiritual Youth Association in Senj, is a contemporary legend that explores the psychological and social aspects of life in urban suburbs.

Herwig, known for his works with a Catholic and social orientation, uses the "monster" as a metaphor for the inner fears and moral dilemmas that permeate the community.

The novel is set in an anonymous suburb, where a mysterious "monster" appears, causing fear and panic among the residents. Through the narrative, Herwig explores how collective fear can influence community behavior, fueling prejudice, violence, and moral decadence.

The main characters confront their own demons as they try to understand the nature of the threat. The novel uses the "monster" as a metaphor for the inner fears and social tensions that simmer beneath the surface of everyday life.

Herwig's work reflects the atmosphere of uncertainty and change in Europe between the two world wars, offering a critique of social norms and warning of the dangers of collective hysteria. The Monster of the Suburbs remains relevant today, encouraging readers to reflect on the nature of fear and its impact on society.
