Native root complex in novels Povratak Filipa Latinovicza by Miroslav Krleža and Črna mati zemla by Kristian Novak

U radu se prikazuje uloga zavičaja, odnosno motivsko-tematski kompleksi proizašli iz zavičaja, u romanima Povratak Filipa Latinovicza Miroslava Krleže i Črna mati zemla Kristiana Novaka. Romani, iako pripadaju različitim vremenskim periodima i stilskim formacijama, imaju nekoliko zajedničkih, dodirnih točaka. Prije svega to je obojenost sjevernohrvatskim zavičajem, u oba romana radnja je smještena u prostor “sjeverne Hrvatske”, kod Krleže je riječ o Podravini, dok je kod Novaka to njegovo rodno Međimurje. Također, u oba romana istaknuti su motivi: tlo, podloga, zemla. Za ljude sa sjevera Hrvatske tlo i zemla bili su jedan od osnovnih faktora egzistencije, njihove sudbine bile su povezane s plodnošću zemlje. Zavičajnost i mentalitet ljudi iz zavičaja sudbinski su odredili život glavnih likova ovih romana – Krležina Filipa i Novakovog Matije. Traumatično djetinjstvo obilježeno nedostatkom očinske figure još je jedan element koji povezuje ova dva djela. Filipa je obilježilo njegovo mutno podrijetlo, odnosno pitanje očinstva, dok su za Matiju problemi počeli nakon smrti oca. Za oba romana karakteristična je iznimna psihološka profilacija likova, analiza mentaliteta kolektiva ruralne sredine i upotreba kajkavskog idioma. Kod Krleže to je tek poneka riječ, ali koja ima veliki odjek (npr. riječi ogenj i frajle) dok je Novak gotovo pola romana napisao kajkavskim (međimurskim) idiomom i time dokazao kako se neki dijalekt može uspješno implementirati u suvremenu književnost.The paper presents the role of the homeland, that is, the motif-thematic complexes derived from the homeland, in the novels Povratak Filipa Latinovicza by Miroslav Krleža and Črna mati zemla by Kristian Novak. Novels, though belonging to different time periods and stylistic formations, have several common, touching points. First of all, it is the coloration of the North Croatian homeland, in both novels the plot is located in the area of "northern Croatia", in Krleža it is Podravina, while in Novak it is his native Međimurje. Also, in both novels, motives that are emphasized are: soil, ground, earth. For people from the north of Croatia, soil and land were one of the basic factors of existence, their fates were related to the fertility of the earth. The homeland and the mentality of the people from the region have fatefully determined the life of the main characters of these novels – Krleža’s Filip and Novak’s Matija. A traumatic childhood marked by the lack of a paternal figure is another element that connects the two works. Filip was marked by his murky origin, that is, the issue of paternity, while for Matija the problems began after his father died. Both novels are characterized by exceptional psychological profiling of the characters, an analysis of the mentality of the rural collective and the use of the kajkavian idiom. In Krleža, there is only few words, but they all have a great echo (eg, the word fire), while Novak wrote almost half of the novels with the kajkavian idiom, thus proving that a dialect can be successfully implemented in contemporary literature
