Croatian Children 's War Literature

Dubravka Zima

Sažetak

The author close reads Croatian children’s war literature and finds two dominant narrative forms in the prose. The first presents the war as a period of maturing, growing up for the children characters, that is, it concentrates on the child’s experience of the war. The child character and its thoughts are more important in the narration than the external reality, which is in the background. The second narrative form acts in the exactly opposite way: disregarding the child’s experience, it concentrates on the external reality of war events, actively including the children characters, thus making a constructed, stylized and schematized narrative space. The author analyses parts of the opuses of the following Croatian children’s writers who write war prose: Anđelka Martić, Danko Oblak, Milivoj Matošec, Gabro Vidović, Sunčana Škrinjarić, Blanka Dovjak Matković, Zora Dirnbach, Dragan Božić, Ferdo Bačić, Mirko Vujačić, Josip Barković, Stjepan Tomaš, Nikola Pulić, Maja Gluščević, Hrvoje Hitrec, Vladimir Tadej, Nada Iveljić, Predrag Raos, Zlatko Krilić, Ivan Kušan and Dunja Kalilić. Parts of the opuses of Croatian children’s poets who wrote poems on the war are interpreted in short as well.
