Abstract
The article interprets the elements of Impressionism in the novella Mor by Đuro Sudeta, relying on the postulates of Impressionistic literature as expounded by Victor Žmegač, on the theories of lyric style by Emil Staiger, and the perception of reality by Ernst Mach. The authors examine the relations of the human body and nature, problems of time, and the Modernist elements of unstable subjectivity in the scope of the main protagonist Mor, the leading female character Šu and her father. The text also shows the closeness of Mor and other heroes of the Modernist period in Croatian literature, such as Leskovar’s Marcel Bušinski and Đuro Martić; and Đuka Begović, the hero of the eponymous novel by Ivan Kozarac.
