Abstract

Te paper deals with Zvonimir Remeta, representative of psychological
realism in Croatian literature, who in the 1940s published three successful novels similar in form and topic: “Grieh”, “Tako svršava” and “Sentimentalna reportaža”. In those novels he showed his subtle sense for infltration in secret interiors of his characters. He used adequate narrative techniques and his peculiar style gave an unusual charm to the
mentioned novels with special emphasis on expression poetization and
specifc descriptions of landscapes.
From the viewpoint of novelistic discourse development it can be said
that Remeta did not mark the beginning of the Croatian psychological
prose, because its beginnings in the Croatian literature can be followed
from earlier periods, but he defnitely enriched that kind of prose and
gave it new expression possibilities by his original way of narrating and
specifc literary procedures.

Keywords
