Summary
Dalibor Šimpraga: Anastasia
Anastasia is the second prose book by Dalibor Šimpraga, in which, unlike the first, Kavica Andrej Puplin, the author significantly expands both the thematic world and the repertoire of stylistic procedures. It is a novel that captures post-war Croatian society through the story of a group of urban young intellectuals at the crossroads of the chaos of the nineties and the first specific issues of corporate capitalism in the 2000s. The novel is structured in three parts: the first and last follow the basic course of the plot, while the central, second part is an analytical excursus in which, from a psychiatric point of view, the narrated events are first interpreted and then turn towards the final denouement.
