Sažetak

Podravina contributed a lot to Croatia’s cultural heritage, giving birth to Naïve painting. However, these turbulent regions on the edge of Drava lowlands also contributed with a number of very talented writers. Among them, a peasant-writer Mihovil Pavlek Miškina (Đelekovec, 1887 - Jasenovac, 1942) is on top of this literature. A self-taught by education, he invested a great effort in building himself and seeing the world around him. His perceptions of nature and society, written down as a recipe for better world, served as a peaceful, non-violent means of struggle, despite his rebellious nature. His opus is modest, but his works told all that was needed to say on farm life and peasants of Koprivnica’s and Ludbreg’s Podravina in the first half of the 20th century. He demanded that the world be improved through hard work and honesty, that this should be a pathway to serene, yet advanced life for local peasants. His literary works found a way into political life and should be considered as such whole, together within the economic, social and political situation of Podravina in between two world wars.
