Storytellers from Bosnia have held a special place in Croatian literature, from the time of the medieval Franciscans to the Muslim religious poets. With an afterword by Miroslav Vaupotić entitled "Storytellers of the Bosnian Village".
This edition brings four key stories by Vjenceslav Novak (1859–1905), one of the most important Croatian realists, known for his social sensitivity and depictions of urban poverty at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Moments of change, chance encounters, the twist of fate that leads a person to a new way of thinking or being: the stories in Dear Life build to form a radiant, indelible portrait of just how dangerous and strange ordinary life can be.
