JERKO SKRAČIĆ: A CROATIAN WRITER IN THE SHADOW OF MEMORY (FIRST PART: BIOGRAPHY, FROM THE WRITTEN WORD TO THE AUTHOR)
Tomislav Skračić
Sažetak
The article "Jerko Skračić – a Croatian writer in the shadow of memory" consists of two parts. This, first, part represents an attempt to reconstruct the biography ofthe writer and newspaperman Jerolim Skračić (1918-1947?). The article has been written according to the methodological principle of "from the written word to the author". For that purpose the article primarily targets the writer's literary works and later his autobiographical writings. Reports made by his kin as well as some now available official documents have also been used.The main stages of the writer's life are his childhood and then the family disagreements regarding his spiritual formation during adolescence. The stages of his literary creative work, his political persecution and, finally, his work as a newspaperman during the period of the Independent Croatian State follow. The writer Jerko Skračić, owing to his Christian upbringing, his faith and his love for his fellow man, succeeded in safeguarding his moral makeup. Surrendering himself in 1945 into the hands of Communist justice, he faced his tragic end as "a people's enemy". This was the reason for the erasure of his work from the "memory" of literary criticism.
