Pavle Pavličić's hidden theory was included among the ten best domestic nonfiction books in 2006 in the "Jutarnje lista" selection.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Ranko Marinković's birth, Pavao Pavličić, who has been studying the author's work for years, has prepared a book of studies and essays dedicated to this classic of Croatian literature.
The first third of the book provides reviews of Russian literature (Chekhov, Ljeskov, Pushkin...). The second chapter deals with world literature (Balzac, Stendhal, Roland...), and the third chapter contains general articles.
The book brings a selection of literary conversations with prominent Croatian poets and writers who began their creative work in different periods.
