Abstract
The article elaborates an identity of the city which is identified with the
author’s destiny during the hardest day of attacking the city in the Croatian
War of Independence. Identifying himself with the city, at the same
time he turns himself in the main novel protagonist. That is a completely
different and so far unknown war letter in Croatia, because the work is
completely turned to transcendence. In the novel the war is the evil force
and not political product. Tragicalness of the war in Croatia as the literary
topic is shown at the general civilization level as a true human damnation.
City of Zadar, located at the Mediterranean coasts, with his history
and destroying heritage takes over the role of human spokesperson. When
a city as the holy area is destroyed, a human loses his/her own identity.
Return of identity is possible only at the symbolic and metaphysic level,
therefore the novel is full of symbolic and archetype motives.
