Summary
Viktor Ivančić: Vita activa
A novel with distinct autobiographical elements in which this contemporary Croatian author confronts obedience and self-censorship against autonomy and freedom through the duality of characters - Edmord, an employee of the secret service, otherwise a weak poet and eternal graduate student in sociology, and his "prey" - a writer who is outraged and disgusted by the monstrosity of the reality to which he belongs, but whose powerful weapon is his own literary word. In this sense, the writer in a certain way calls for the questioning of the personal conscience of each individual when it comes to denouncing and limiting human freedoms.
