Abstract

This paper aims to observe how the Christian worldview is manifested in contemporary Croatian war prose for children and youth [It refers to
children’s prose focused on the Homeland War (1991–1995)]. The analysis of selected texts shows that the Christian worldview is reflected through many traditional Christian motifs, particularly the rosary motif, in the Christian tradition and the Christian message. The analysed corpus aims to confirm Christian literary continuity in Croatian children’s literature, despite the long-term marginalisation of Christian literary themes.
