Abstract

The text underlines the importance of Luko Paljetak’s original first collection of poetry Nečastivi iz ruže (Zagreb, 1968) (Satan out of the Rose). In addition it foregrounds the literary vision of Branimir Donat, the author of the collection’s afterwards who points out in Paljetak’s first collection a sort of authorial oxymoron where one can simultaneously perceive a lyric existentialism, a postmodernism and the traditional context of troubadour practice. By attending to and closely reading Paljetak’s poems from the collection Nečastivi iz ruže the article underlines the fact that the collection is a milestone publication of contemporary Croatian poetry which profiled one of today’s leading Croatian writers who is recognizably both of Meditteranean and European provenance. The conclusion of the text gives a biographical sketch where Paljetak is presented not only as a famous Dubrovnik writer and a member of the Croatian academy but also as an exceptionally important intellectual and humanist from Zadar.
