Sažetak

Milan Kranjčević’s writings are a precious source when it comes to researching traditional ways of life in the Otočac area. Kranjčević’s writing is characterised by exhaustive descriptions and an acquaintance with almost every detail encompassing life in the Gacka River Valley. He wrote about traditional house construction, and proverbial sayings about seasonal customs, agriculture and cooking. He also provided data about language, described various festivities, and noted folk wisdom about numerous events, thoughts about the world and life. We can find a contextual dimension which is of importance for the ethnological and folkloristic approach - Kranjčević provided information about the function of folklore elements as part of various customs. This paper identifies ethnographic and folkloristic elements in Kranjčević’s writings.
