Abstract

Pero Budak's opus cannot be understood without taking into account his prose work. In his late years, Budak became a novelist and was one of the most productive – his first novel was followed by a series of various thematic novels (Karan's Couch, Sonata in d-minor, Atelier, Tomfoolery is skill also, The waters are coming, Fateful hatred, Restless passions, Maddened village, Documentary, Underhill, Storm, Three novels: Hugo, Doctor Raif, Chariot, Swamp). He is a writer who could take reader by suprise and overreach his expectations in various manners: either by creating exceptional character, describing specific environment, developing interesting theme or by transforming from dramatic into novelistic style which is a demanding and curious task he performed well. In such a manner he generated a new kind of work that enriches our literal reality. Such works are the subject of this analysis.
