An Overview of Texts by Luka Brajnović in the Osoba i duh Magazine

Tamara Bodor ; Faculty of Croatian Studies, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The paper examines the literary representations of Luka Brajnović, who wrote for the magazine Osoba i duh. The magazine Osoba i duh Brajnović started and edited with the Dominican Fran Hijacint Eterović, and it was published in Madrid from 1949 to 1955. Although it was primarily aimed at Catholic intellectuals, the magazine Osoba i duh was also open to other Croatian emigrant groups. Although religious in character, the magazine was interdisciplinary; in it, leading Croatian intellectuals wrote about current life issues that preoccupied all Croatian emigrants. Like most similar magazines, Osoba i duh had a section entitled „Books and Magazines“ in which reviews of books and publications by Croatian emigrants or foreign works related to Croatian state-building issues were presented. In seven years, in this more or less permanent section, about 60 reviews related to emigrant Croatian authors were published. Most of them were written by Luka Brajnović under one of his many pseudonyms.
