The monograph Sky over Osijek is intended as a collection of intimate writings about the city on the Drava River, Osijek. The authors of the published texts are mostly writers who live in Osijek or have once passed through Osijek and then often visit it.
The book collects short biographies of thirty Croatians who, through their work in various fields of science, art and society, have made a contribution to European history.
Svetozar Boroević, the most capable Austro-Hungarian military leader of the First World War, the only Croat who received the title of field marshal and was awarded the highest Austrian decorations, has been systematically hushed up in Croatian history.
The book is deeply rooted in the local history and culture of Osijek, with an emphasis on cemetery motifs that serve as a metaphor for memory, death, and disappearance.
