Summary
Branimir Livadić: The Legend of Amis and Amil
One of the most beautiful books of the Croatian publishing house of the twentieth century. First edition from 1913.
The layout of Livadić's book is unique in the history of Croatian publishing: it was printed in two-color, red and black printing, with the initials and woodcuts of Miroslav Kraljević and Ljuba Babić in capital letters.
This book is both a reflection and a memorial to the first printed Glagolitic missals.
Miroslav Kraljević (Gospic, 1885 - Zagreb, 1913), Croatian painter, who created some of his most successful paintings in Pozega. He died at the age of 28. from Sušice, completing 3 initials for this book, while the other initials and illustrations were continued by Ljubo Babić.
Ljubo Babić (Jastrebarsko, 1890 - Zagreb, 1974), Croatian painter, art historian, art pedagogue, illustrator and scenographer.
Editor Julija Benešić.
A modernist treatment of the legend of Amis and Amil, with which Livadić, using various sources, "turns the medieval tale of wonder, pain, friendship and sacrifice into a drama of human souls, delineating his own philosophical and aesthetic habitus in essentials."
Branimir Livadić (Samobor, 1871 – Zagreb, 1949) Novelist and critic. He was the editor of the magazines Savremenik, Kolo and Croatian Review
