Translovenski identitet pripovedne proze Stanislava Krakova
Trans-Slovenian Identity of Stanislav Krakov’s Narrative Prose
Опачић, Зорана
Abstract: In this paper, we will deal with travel writing and narrative prose from the 20s of the 20th century by Stanislav Krakov, a Serbian writer of Polish origin. The image of Poland contains the trans-Slovenian identity of the author, who is a Pole and a Serb, but who got to know his father’s country at a mature age. The possibility to examine one’s own identity awakens the joy of recognizing oneself in another Slavic culture. The fascination with Polish culture (which is both foreign and own), the mysteriousness of one’s own noble ori- gin, are reflected in the insistence on telling stories about folklore, legends, arts. Analogies with Serbian history are brought into the narration of rich Polish history and patriotism. Residents in Poland inspired the author to create the story The Alchemist, which is signifi- cant for the Serbian avant-garde, so we also point out the ways of the genesis of this story.
