A collection of literary, theater, and art criticism by Milan Begović. It contains his reviews of performances at the Croatian National Theater, essays on drama, literature, and art, written with elegance and wit.
Milan Begović's first novel and one of the most lyrical novels in Croatian literature. A romantic story about the passionate but tragic love between the refined bon vivant Dušan and the fragile, naive Rođena (Dunja) in a patriarchal Dalmatian setting.
Giga Barićeva (1940) follows the life of Zagreb's bourgeois society during and after World War I. Begović's style, imbued with impressionism and wit, creates a panorama of society, while Giga personifies the struggle between freedom and expectations.
The birth, childhood, upbringing and warlike exploits of the giant Gargantua: a satire on scholasticism, wars, monasticism and society, with grotesque humour, enormous eating/drinking and utopian ideals.
"Many years ago I published a number of poems, and forgot about them. I was fifteen years old at the time. Actually, I was thirteen or fourteen when I wrote them, and they were published as "Poems of a Fifteen-Year-Old" in the magazine Forum."
The poems abound with the fairy enchantment of the Breton world, while at the same time providing a depiction of medieval court life in the 12th century.
