Abstract

Among many famous citizens of Požega, Matko Peić certainly takes a special place in the recent history of Croatian literature. In his travel accounts he continues the tradition of Matoš to discover not only “our people and regions” Dubravko Jelčić (2004) and he creates the largest and the most valuable travel accounting opus in Croatian literature up to the present moment. In his travel accounts of Požega, Matko Peić uses interesting lexis ranging from typical loanwords from Turkish, from German, from French and Italian to his own derivatives. His lexis is rich and symbolic, therefore his syntagms „kaca parnjača“ or „kruške miholjače“ fully conjure up the scenery about which Peić was writing. Matko Peić in his travel accounts confirms the fact that the richness of a nation consists of the richness of its different idioms.
