Abstract
In the rich cultural treasure-chest of Brod, along
with the indisputed greats of the written word
whose works marked the name of the town as a
signiÞ cant cultural centre of Slavonia and Croatia,
there are names of natives of Brod who, in
spite of their modest literary scope, are signiÞ cant
and cannot be overlooked in the process of the
creation of the cultural identity of the town. One
of these names is that of Sofija Hirtz-Maraković, a
teacher, painter, author of travelogues, as well as
the only comedy written in Brod in the 20th cen-
tury - “The Yoke”, from 1940, whose performance
was a signiÞ cant cultural event in the town in the
period between the two world wars.
