130 NOVA ISTRA Literary, Art and Cultural Journal Zeitschrift für Literatur, Kunst und Kultur Rivista di letteratura, arte e cultura Pula, Croatia / Kroatien / Croazia, No. 1/2023 Summary In memoriam has been written for our colleague, the Croatian writer Fabijan Lovrić (1953 – 2023). The Poetry and Prose section usually includes recent pieces by contemporary writers, this time all of them being distinguished in the Croatian literature today (Veljko Barbieri, Branko Čegec, etc.). The programme for young people, annually held for secondary and university students from Pula, At Marul’s, hosted one of the most important young Croatian contemporary poetesses, Monika Herceg, whose verses are given in this issue. The translation section is devoted to the Italian authoress who lived and wrote in Pula, her name is Gianna Dallemulle Ausenak (1938 – 2009). This issue also contains two politically engaged essays, moreover, much critical essays according to criteria from the period of communist totalitarianism. Both of them are relevant in literary terms and signed by Albino Crnobori (Gramsci, the Party... and The Charismatic Person...). Essays on the home region are represented by two poetry collections, one in Kaikavian (by Božica Brkan) and another in Chakavian (by Boris Domagoj Biletić). The usual section Critical Reviews and Remarks brings first examples from the recent Croatian literature, then pieces by the classical writer of Bohemian literature, Karel Čapek, in the Croatian translation, and finally a contribution on the 20th Polish literature, as well as that about books by Croatian authors from Herzegovina (B&H) and Hungary.
