Croatian Cultural Renaissance
Croatia is a magnificent land full of surprises. Visitors are amazed to discover a country with spectacular natural wonders, a great culinary tradition, excellent wine, architecture, a beautiful language, and a vibrant national culture. While it is a small country when measured in square miles, market size, or military power, it has a rich culture that has profoundly impacted the world.

They are diplomats, government officials, artists, and academics who are recognized within Croatia for their intellectual prowess and for their vital and noteworthy contributions to their country. While the chapters explore different areas of Croatia’s national culture, they are united in showing how the national identity and ethos have deep roots and provide insight in what it means to be Croatian today.

Že bežen pogled v njegove biografske podatke pa razkriva še veliko več. Pesnik je bil med prvimi, ki so pri pisanju v slovenščini dosledno uporabljali današnjo slovensko pisavo, in med p...
