Discussion with: Slobodan \u0160najder \u2013 writer, Sini\u0161a Kasumovi\u0107 \u2013 translator, Agnieszka Krawiec – moderator   POL, HRV, PJM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Slobodan \u0160najder’s Czas miedzi (The Age of Brass)<\/strong>, frequently lauded as his definitive work, tells the poignant story of the author’s family, particularly his father’s conscription into the Wehrmacht during World War II. More than just a family saga, this Croatian novel is a vast historical tapestry, portraying generations ensnared by the turbulent past and burdened by the clashing legacies of their forebears. \u0160najder leverages his personal biography to illuminate two centuries of ideological divides and conflict.
. <\/p>\n

The story introduces Kempf, who, alongside his countrymen, seeks a new life, ultimately settling in Slavonia\u2014a historical region in eastern Croatia, nestled between the Sava and Drava rivers. Decades pass, and subsequent generations of Germans call Slavonia home. Yet, in 1940, with Europe once again engulfed in war, this deeply rooted minority is compelled to fight for the Reich\u2014a nation they now perceive as alien.<\/p>\n

The book has garnered significant critical acclaim. France’s Le Monde praised it as a “contemporary epic,” stating: “Like Olga Tokarczuk, \u0160najder has created a novel about a Europe that has lost its diversity and been destroyed by fascism, communism, and more recently, nationalism.” Croatian journalists from Jutarnji list also expressed immense admiration, declaring it “undoubtedly the most important Croatian novel of recent years.”<\/p>\n
