Prosjak Luka - Prijan Lovro

August Šenoa

In his novels Prosjak Luka and Prijan Lovro, August Šenoa explores the fates of ordinary people through the prism of social injustice and morality. Through Luka's suffering and Lovro's kindness, Šenoa calls for understanding and solidarity, leaving a stro

Both novels, set in the 19th-century Zagreb setting, reflect Šenoa's ability to vividly portray the life of a common man while simultaneously criticizing social norms.

  • Luka the Beggar follows the story of Luka, a poor beggar who, despite his misery, retains his dignity and kindness. Luka, a former craftsman, becomes a victim of unfortunate circumstances and social indifference. His encounter with a young girl, Anica, who offers him warmth and compassion, brings moments of hope, but fate does not allow him to escape poverty. Through Luka's story, Šenoa depicts the cruelty of society towards the marginalized, but also the strength of the human spirit. Novak ends tragically, emphasizing the need for empathy and justice.

  • Prijan Lovro tells the story of Lovro, a modest and honest peasant who comes to Zagreb to sell his products. His naivety and good nature make him easy prey for the city's swindlers who deceive him. However, Lovro's honesty and persistence help him to overcome injustice, and the story ends on a more optimistic note, celebrating simplicity and moral purity. Here, Šenoa subtly criticizes the city's corruption and the contrast between the rural and urban worlds.

Both novels, written in a realistic style, abound in vivid descriptions of Zagreb's streets, characters, and customs, making them precious testimonies of Croatian literature and culture.
