Sažetak
In 1968, I wrote about Skitnje, by which I was fascinated. I named them the book of the year. Here I would like to repeat several sentences from this critical essay: The most powerful pages of this book are undoubtedly the descriptions of the life of friars at the Cernik Monastery and of the woman of Babina Greda. The former may be found in the chapter entitled “From Požega to Nova Gradiška”, and the latter in the chapter entitled “Babina Greda”. These are not only the best pages of Peić’s Skitnje, but also, beyond any doubt, the finest pages of the entire recent Croatian prose literature. I know that many, if not all writers kept memo pads and notebooks; recently in London, more than seventy notebooks by the famous Agatha Christie, which she had told me about in 1967, at the Bellevue Hotel in Bohinj, have been published. In 1968, Peić wrote about Krleža on two occasions and with great respect – first about Krleža’s Pan and the Painting on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Pan, and next about Krleža’s Symphonies; whilst in 1973, he wrote about Krleža’s famous travel book A Trip to Russia. What connects Peić with Krleža? First and foremost, powerful expressionist descriptions; followed by the knowledge of and interest in painting; and last but not least stylistic elements – sentence colour and sound; words filled by pictures that become the bearer of the emotional tension in the content itself – sometimes an uncontrolled flood of strong colourful words of particular sonority is present here, as well as a precise expression of one’s own emotions.
