Osmi povjerenik

Renato Baretić

Renat Baretić's first novel, The Eighth Commissioner, takes us to the most remote inhabited Croatian island, Trećić. Having received awards K. Š. Gjalski, V. Nazor, A. Šenoa, I. G. Kovačić and "Kiklop" became the most awarded domestic book for the best pr

On Trećić, similar to Cicely from Life in the North, the community functions brilliantly without any authorities. That's why the eighth government commissioner appears there, as a punishment, with only one task: to organize elections and establish a legal local government. But everything is different on Trećić... First, people think differently there, and speak Trećić... And, on an island where mostly old people live, instead of a political thriller, a drama begins in which a Bosnian man, two Aboriginal women, a porn actress appear... Baretić's first novel - and a sure shot at the top of the charts and into the classics of our literary history - it is virtuosically written on as many as five language levels, of which at least four - almost polyglot - we understand, and we enjoy learning the fifth. But even more impressive than Baretić's mastery of language is his mastery of emotions, because joy and sadness in this novel are as inseparable as salt and sea. If the fifth partner was and remains the mystery and nausea of ​​domestic politics, the eighth commissioner is his sunny antipode: the demystification of the politics of self-knowledge. The eighth commissioner has only one flaw: Trečić is a utopia.
