Chronicle Supposing Books Kiklop

Roman čija se radnja zbiva u zagrebačkoj sredini uoči Drugog svjetskog rata i na njegovu početku, a u središtu autorova interesa su krugovi intelektualaca, poluintelektualaca i umjetnika, izbezumljenost i izgubljenost čitave jedne generacije. Glavni lik, Melkior, novinski je kritičar koji proživljava mučne dane očekujući poziv u vojsku i trapeći se pritom teškim postom, ne bi li tako, postigavši iscrpljenost i asteniju, izbjegao regrutaciju. Kreće se središtem Zagreba, posjećujući svoju redakciju, određene kavane i ljubavnicu Enku, te boraveći u podstanarskoj sobici. Sa svojim - uglavnom novinarskim - društvom, on provodi noći u pijanim i ciničkim raspravama. Zaljubljen je u izvjesnu Vivijanu, koja ima mnoge ljubavnike, ali njega zaobilazi. Duh mu je zaokupljen pitanjima o krivnji, budućnosti i ljudožderstvu. Ubrzo nakon što je ipak regrutiran, dospijeva u bolnicu, a potom u ludnicu, ali uskoro biva pušten i iz vojske, i iz ludnice. Nakon izlaska ophrva ga još veća praznina i strah, a njegova duševna i duhovna dezintegriranost kulminira kad rat već bjesni, a njegov prijatelj Maestro počini samoubojstvo.

Article Regarding Books Kiklop

The historical tomorrow: and when men discovered the divine power of matter, it came to reign over them, confusing their minds, blighting their lives and then swallowing itself and turning into a Force which destroyed all laws and there is now not a single consciousness left that could proclaim it stupid in the name of Hegel.Ranko Marinkovic's Cyclops is likely my favorite novel of the year. It is a Ulysses of Zagreb in 1940 with the howl of War in the air. A theatre critic fears for the future

Radnja ovog romana smještena je pred sam dolazak II Svjetskog rata na ove prostore, a u središtu je egzistencijalna drama Melkiora Tresića, zagrebačkog književnika i književnog kritičara. Kako bi izbjegao vojsku on se osuđuje na izgladnjivanje i lutanje po zagrebačkim ulicama i kavanama. Tu uglavnom razmišlja o svojoj sudbini, svjedoči dolasku rata i vodi intelektualne diskusije sa Maestrom, Ugom i Don Fernandom. Ipak, dobiva poziv za vojsku, a ubrzo nakon toga dospijeva u ludnicu.Fabula romana

Teške droge.

Cyclops was originally published in Croatia. It takes place in Zagreb and could easily be compared to Ulysses, the Odyssey, and even Hamlet. Marinković captures the essence of the crowds, the shysters, and seedy neighborhoods. He dissects Zagreb on the eve of war with the same precision as Joseph Hellers Catch 22. It is anti-war in sentiment and was a prelude to similar books like Slaughter House Five, written in the 1960s with WWII as the setting.

Few books made me as anxious as this one - it's a jumble of scenes and thoughts and it left me feeling quite confused at several points. It offers a dark and depressing view of reality, with occasionally insightful musings about the human condition, and some rather disconcerting ideas.

THIS CLASSIC OF MODERN European literature, which appeared in Croatia in 1965, has just been published in English for the first time. The novel opens with the narrator describing a familiar scene as a math equation. Standing in a public building, Melkior observes two neon signs, one for Ladies and one for Gents, glowing above intersecting staircases.Read more...
