Sažetak
With the end of the Second World War in 1945, Croatian literature experienced a major break and, undoubtedly, a political fracture. A significant number of writers emigrated for political reasons, continuing their literary life abroad. In 1947, the periodical Glas Sv. Antuna was launched in Buenos Aires under the patronage of the Croatian Franciscans. The writer Ivo Lendić was editor-in-chief of the journal. In addition to religious and political texts, the periodical also published literary texts: poetry, short prose, essays, literary reviews and literary criticism. The appearance of such a periodical only two years after the end of the war meant an ideological and spiritual counterpoint to literature in Croatia at the time, where writers were under strong political pressure in the name of the Yugoslav idea, and communist ideology. The aim of this article is to record the basic facts regarding the authorship and number of literary contributions by types and genres. It also aims to highlight the more important among them in terms of artistic and other features, as well as to evaluate the literary relevance of the Glas Sv. Antuna, which played a representative role for this literary generation in emigration, and whose works were marked by a patriotic spirit and Christian universalism.
