Dejan Šorak's espionage-romance novel Putnik sputne jastaje lavishly, as in a BBC production, from London in 1933 to the famous PEN world congress of the same year in Dubrovnik and Zagreb in 1941, shows revolutionary times and personal dramas through a tense story, and along the way, essayistically, he powerfully reflects on the issues of freedom and art, homeland and secret forces that move the world and history. Šorak's tenth novel traveled to its audience for a full three and a half decades, from the era when Šorak was primarily known as a film director. Because of the strong love triangle based on espionage and war, Putnik was called the "Croatian Casablanca". In the novel, the main character, a young English writer of Dubrovnik origin, Petar Benedict, signs cooperation with the British secret service MI6 due to the easy and quick success that his works and gift deserve. This will make him a loner and an eternal traveler of way stations for the rest of his life.
