Marijana Roščić
Abstract
A number of newspaper articles were written about Ivan Raos, the author of a novel and a TV show Prosjaci i sinovi (Beggars and Sons) after aforementioned TV show had been banned. This paper aims to present a chronology of writing the novel and its corresponding TV show by mentioning various newspaper articles and reviews about the author and the TV show which may have influenced the popularity of the novel. Nikola Disopra had especially negative opinion about the author and wrote about him in a daily newspaper The Slobodna Dalmacija and parts of his essay were published in Belgrade’s The Politika. A letter written by TV Zagreb’s editorial staff published in The Večernji List in 1973 contains a reason why the TV show was banned. At that time I. Mandić, R. Kovačević,
M. Bošnjak also wrote about Ivan Raos. This paper contains information about literary meetings, public discussions and scientific symposia dedicated to the work of Ivan Raos as well as monodramas and poems created in his honour. All of the abovementioned certainly contributes to the popularity of Raos’ opus.
