Summary
Josip Kosor: Nema Boga ima Boga
Josip Kosor's play Nema Boga ima Boga from 1933 is being published in this edition for the first time, and belongs to his circle of activist, social-political expressionist dramas U Café du Dôme (Zagreb 1922, written 1918), Rotonda (Zagreb 1925, written 1918), Humanity (Zagreb 1925), Masks on paragraphs (1928, published in Zagreb in 1978). In all these dramas, Kosor remains faithful to the pre-war polarizations of eternal time, spirit matter, good and evil, only that in the first three dramas he concretized these schemes with material and images from the post-war social and political life of Paris, London and Moscow, anticipating in them today's current ideas and topics, from globalization to ecology, that is, in the remaining two dramas, social and political images from the domestic climate, which is why they had in interwar Yugoslavia trouble with official authorities. It is little known that his works were translated into many world languages and performed on several European stages.
