Summary
Janko Polić Kamov: Confessions of a hero of our days
Novels and lacrdia
"He was one of the most interesting, most original, most complicated, most modern and strongest figures in our entire life and in our entire literature," Kamov's biographer Vladimir Čerina wrote in 1913. However, even a century after his death, Janko Polić Kamov (1886-1910) does not stop causing doubts, because his distinctive and unique work, his life shrouded in secrecy, as well as the legends intertwined around him represent one of the biggest and most intriguing topics in Croatian literature and art.
Because Kamov was a writer ahead of his time; although he died before he was even twenty-four (24!) years old, that "kid" left behind an astonishing work of exceptional artistic value, for which he is today considered the first Croatian avant-garde writer and certainly one of the best we had! along the way, a noble story about the tragedy of his family, about his unhappy love, as well as a story about his truly unique destiny. Self-possessed, unique and original, that cursed genius, great swearer, poet of deep dark forebodings, harbinger of chaos, already at the age of twenty-one he wrote his will: "If I die, I leave my body at the disposal of doctors, so that they can use it for their experiments; since my works do not reach beyond my drawer, since my life does not serve science enough - I leave my body to her and give her my death. And the rascal is the one who calls the pope over me, nail the cross and bring wreaths." He left three years later, painfully young, never regretted and never forgotten.
