The Torch of Ljubomir Maraković

Ivo Sečkar

Abstract

This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the death Ljubomir Maraković, who was probably the most significant Croatian Catholic writer and public figure. Due to ideological reasons, following World War II, Maraković was sentenced to imprisonment and silence. Therefore, he is not well known by the yunger generation. Through biographical information, this article attempts to illuminate the literary opus of this writer, which was characterized by Catholic universalism and love of homeland. Maraković's Christian commitment, writings and editorial work on books and periodicals, especially a journal entitled luč (Torch) contributed greatly to the affirmation of Croatian Catholic literature. His critiques were highly esteemed, even in circles ideologically opposed to his positions.
