Sažetak
Taboo subject of cannibalism is not the only aspect of the paper which attempts to penetrate into the inner world of the heroine in Slavenka Drakulić’s novel Božanska glad. Apart from the fact that a nameless Polish woman kills her own lover and by eating his dead body tries to master the new order of things, her actions also feed the loneliness that she is fighting against, pointing to the direction in which altruism of a modern man is disappearing, while his ego is growing, even at the expense of another man’s life. Absolute individualism above all, even in love which teaches us coexistence. Cannibalism therefore becomes only one of the symptoms of postmodern homo sapiens deep crisis.
