Šimunović Dinko

Summary

 

According to the general judgment of literary history, the three most valuable works in Dinko Šimunović's oeuvre are the short story collections "Mrkodol" and "Đerdan" and the novel "Tuđinac" (published in 1911). This novel is characterized by an autobiographical note, emphasized and recognizable in its own way in most of Šimunović's prose works. In the most important works of this writer, one of the protagonists of Croatian modernity, the heroes are mostly characters torn between a hopeless feeling of loneliness and the everyday world with which they are in inevitable conflict.
All the features of Šimunović's storytelling, the tendency to popular vocabulary and romantic idealizations, but also sympathy for the heroes who bear the cross of their tragic duality with difficulty, are noticeable in the novel "The Stranger". From the very beginning, we follow the fate of the central character, anticipating his unfortunate fate. Stanko's extremely sensitive nature is in tragic conflict with a world that accepts only strength and uncompromisingness. Apart from the fact that he does not feel like a citizen or a peasant, apart from the fact that nothing ties him to his birthplace any more, any inkling of comfort in that typical Šimunović homo duplex is deeply contaminated with a feeling of pain. "You can't hide from love anywhere, just like you can't hide from death," Stanko will say by chance, thus foreshadowing the winding path of his own destiny. In the novel "The Stranger", less known than his famous short stories, Šimunović offered an old and always current story about a man and a woman whose excessive sensitivity almost ironically leads to an unwanted finale.
In his adaptation, Vončina respected the literary template as much as possible, taking sufficient account of the legalities of the television medium. The writer's language is absolutely preserved, and the emotional states - which in Šimunović often prevail over the fable - are deftly illustrated by the gradual changes of the landscape.
