Kalifornijske pripovijesti

Bret Harte

This is a collection of stories by American writer Bret Harte, who is known for his works inspired by life in the American West during the 19th century gold rush.

Harte's stories often feature unusual and rugged yet honorable characters—gold diggers, gamblers, adventurers, and outlaws—set in the harsh yet romantic landscapes of wild California. His tales are characterized by moral dilemmas, humor, unexpected twists, and compassion for people on the margins of society.
