Summary
Vladimir Jurčić: How Croatian writers and artists died
This book describes the life and work of Croatian personalities who contributed to the creation and shaping of culture. It outlines the champions as people and creators, their lives and the circumstances in which they acted are shown. It is a series of life novels, a series of human destinies. (...) Nations differ slightly in their treatment of their champions. They rarely understand them, they are reluctant to acknowledge them. The road to fame is indeed difficult and thorny. It is no different here. Isn't it a rule in our country that Croatian death tastes better than the audience, as A. G. Matoš said, don't our best people just need one little thing to become famous - to die?
