Summary
Marko Gregur: Dolinar
He was a world champion in table tennis, a great seducer, a real city fakin and later a scientist and university professor. When the Ustashas and the Germans started persecuting people, he did not hesitate for a moment - risking his life in wartime Zagreb, he forged documents and saved many, including his great love Žuža. This is the story of a man who was cosmopolitan, but who inexpressibly loved his homelands - Koprivnica, Zagreb, Novi Sad and Ljubljana - the story of Žarko Dolinar.
Dolinaris a novel about the life of a man full of courage and spirit who does not give up even in the most difficult moments, who manages equally well in front of thousands of fans and in front of unscrupulous executioners, in luxurious palaces and on cold attics, who enjoys large companies, but also intimacy and solitude. With the same passion, he collected autographs from random passers-by and the biggest faces, he was equally careful with everyone - from a peasant woman from Podravina and a distracted neighbor to presidents and world-famous actors. Layered and playful Dolinar by Marko Gregor is a fascinating life story about Žarko Dolinar, through which the history of Croatia, Yugoslavia, Europe and the world of the twentieth century is refracted and unfolds before us like the most luxurious Hollywood film, as tense as the craziest sports match.
