The book One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eight (first edition 1934, second 1973) by Josip Horvat is a detailed account of the revolutionary year 1848 in Croatia, a key moment in the shaping of national identity and political consciousness.

Horvat, a journalist and historian, describes with analytical acumen and narrative skill the turbulent events that shook the Habsburg Monarchy and Croatia, focusing on the role of Ban Josip Jelačić and the national revival.

The work follows the revolution sparked by the Illyrian movement, led by Ljudevit Gaj, which sought to unify the South Slavs and strengthen the Croatian language and culture. Horvat analyzes the political and social circumstances, including the conflict with Hungarian nationalism, which culminated in Jelačić’s abolition of serfdom and military campaign against the Hungarians. The book emphasizes Jelačić’s complex role – as a loyal subject of Vienna and a defender of Croatian interests. Horvat also sheds light on internal divisions, such as the disagreements between the Illyrians and the Rightists, and the influence of European revolutionary movements.

Through rich source material, Horvat brings the atmosphere of 1848 to life, presenting it as a turning point in the Croatian struggle for autonomy. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the national awakening and political dynamics of the 19th century, written in a clear style that combines historical accuracy with an engaging story.
