Novelistic of Dinko Šimunović

Ovim radom predstavljen je dosta bogat novelistički opus autora Dinka Šimunovića koji se svojim prvim književnim radovima javio početkom dvadesetoga stoljeća. U tom vremenu u hrvatskoj se književnosti vode književni sukobi između starijih i mlađih naraštaja. Živeći i radeći u izoliranoj sredini Šimunović ne sudjeluje u tim književnim borbama. Rad sam podijelila na sedam poglavlja. Prvo poglavlje je uvodno u kojem su u kratkim crtama iznijete glavne sastavnice rada. Nakon uvoda slijedi poglavlje naslovljeno autorovim imenom koje je podijeljeno na dva dijela. Prvi dio obuhvaća život i djelovanje Dinka Šimunovića, dok se u drugome dijelu govori općenito o njegovoj novelistici te estetskim i umjetničkim vrijednostima iste. Nakon toga slijedi pojedinačna analiza odabranih novela pa je sljedeće poglavlje posvećeno zbirci Mrkodol koju čine novele: Mrkodol, Muljika, Duga, Alkar, Rudica. Premda je kritika smatrala kako Šimunović nakon Mrkodola nije imao kvalitetnijih djela, novele kao što su Đerdan i Krčma dokazuju suprotno stoga su u radu analizirane i novele iz Šimunovićeva zrelijega stvaralaštva koje također imaju umjetničku vrijednost. Osim spomenutih novela Đerdan i Krčma analizirala sam i novele Pojila i Ljubav. Nakon analize odabranih Šimunovićevih novela posvetila sam poglavlje patrijarhalnoj sredini unutar istih. Ta tema je posebno zanimljiva, ali i problematična zbog različitih mišljenja o autorovu odnosu prema toj tradicionalnoj seoskoj sredini.Na temelju analiziranih novela iznijela sam i vlastiti stav o spomenutoj problematici. U zaključnome dijelu rada pokušala sam sažeto iznijeti najbitnije o liku i djelu Dinka Šimunovića. Autori i djela na koja sam se oslanjala pišući rad napisani su na stranicama literature.This thesis represents a very rich novelistic opus of Dinko Šimunović who started with his literary work at the beginning of the twentieth century. At that time conflicts between older and younger generations took place on the literary scene but because of isolated living and working he wasn't part of that conflicts. This thesis is divided in seven chapters. The first chapter is introduction in which are presented the main components of the thesis. The second chapter is named after author Dinko Šimunović and it is divided in two parts. The first part is about his life and work, the second is entirely about his novellas and its aesthetic and artistic values. Selected novellas are analyzed so next chapter is about collection named Mrkodol which consists of novellas: Mrkodol, Muljika, Duga, Alkar, Rudica. Although critics considered that Šimunović didn't have some significant works after Mrkodol, novellas like Đerdan and Krčma prove the opposite, therefore some novellas from mature era of Šimunović's work were analyzed because of its artistic value. Novellas Pojila and Ljubav were also analyzed. After analyzing selected novellas, there is a chapter about the patriarchal environment that is mentioned in them. This subject is particularly interesting, but also problematic because of different opinions about author's attitude toward the traditional rural environment. Based on analyzed novellas, I also wrote my personal attitude about mentioned issues. In conclusion, I summarized the most important about author and its work. Authors and works I relied in writing this thesis are written in references
