Sažetak
This article analyses Nehajev’s story The Big City and his novel The Escape. Through a detailed analysis of the plot and the main character in the story, we come to the conclusion that it is only the preparation of the journey for creating similar and more elaborate characters in the novel. The analysis of the story and the novel shows that Nehajev creates psycho- logically exhausted characters whose identity crises are researched in this work. Nehajev’s characters are reflections of the time in which the writer lives when disorientation of the young was a common thing. By comparing the influence of the urban environment from the story, and mediocre environment from the novel, the author comes to the conclusion that with Nehajev’s characters the problem is not in their environment, but that it lies within themselves. In both, the story and the novel, the author emphasizes the importance of two methods which Nehajev uses in describing his characters, and they are retrospection and introspection. The presence of these two methods proves the fact that Nehajev goes a step further from J. Leskovar in psychoanalysis and research of the inner life of his characters. Just because of that, his novel The Escape is usually considered the best novel in Croatian modern.
