Petar Šegedin

The collection of short stories On the same road (1963) contains eight stories, most of them previously published in Forum magazine, with some reworked or newly written: "The Tale of Two Stones", "Happiness", "On the same road", "Dead Sea", "Worlds", "His

Šegedin's short stories explore the inner conflicts of the individual, the feeling of alienation and the search for meaning in the modern world. Through introspective narrators, the author analyzes themes of loneliness, fate and transience, often in a melancholic tone. The title short story "On the Same Road" symbolizes life as a monotonous journey towards an inevitable end, while "The Dead Sea" evokes spiritual desolation. The characters are faced with existential questions, and Šegedin's language, rich in metaphors, emphasizes psychological depth.

The collection reflects Šegedin's critique of social conventions and socialist realist aesthetics, introducing subjective, essayistic prose. The work is a significant example of Šegedin's existentialist approach in Croatian literature. Its focus on the inner world and philosophical reflections makes the work universal, ensuring its lasting importance in Croatian literature.
