Ivan Zvonar, Stjepan Hranjec

"Oral Folk Literature in the Land of Međimurje" by Ivan Zvonar and Stjepan Hranjec explores the rich tradition of oral literature in Međimurje, a region located in northern Croatia.

The authors analyze various forms of oral literature, including folk tales, legends, proverbs, and songs, and their significance for the identity and culture of the local population. Through the collection and interpretation of folk tales, the book sheds light on how these narratives have shaped social norms, values, and the collective memory of a community. It also examines the impact of contemporary changes on the preservation and transmission of oral tradition, emphasizing the importance of the heritage that is passed down from generation to generation. The book is a significant contribution to the study of folklore and ethnology, offering insight into the richness and diversity of the cultural heritage of Međimurje.
