Jadransko more: U sukobima i borbama kroz stoljeća
The monumental work of academician Grgo Novak provides a comprehensive historical overview of military, political and naval conflicts on the Adriatic Sea.
The monograph "The Adriatic Sea: In Conflicts and Battles Through the Ages" by one of the most prominent Croatian historians and polymaths, Grgo Novak, is a fundamental work for studying the maritime and military history of the eastern Adriatic coast.
The book deals in detail with the complex geopolitical processes, wars, pirate campaigns and diplomatic struggles that took place on the Adriatic Sea and its shores from the oldest prehistoric times, through the ancient period and the arrival of the Slavs, all the way to crucial historical moments such as the sale of Dalmatia to the Venetian Republic in 1409.
Through rich material, chronologically consistent and analytically precise, the author depicts the Adriatic not only as a space of economic and cultural integration, but also as a scene of constant conflicts between great powers, coastal cities and maritime peoples who shaped the fate of these areas. The work stands out for its exceptional historiographical value and serves as indispensable literature for understanding the Croatian and Mediterranean past.
