This book is devoted to the study of meanings and functions of the island in contemporary Croatian insular fiction. It is also an attempt to encourage the rejection of simplistic, trivial, strictly tourist representation of the country. The study focuses on eight contemporary works of fiction (seven novels and one collection of short stories written between the 1950s and 2000s) set on the islands off the eastern coast of the Adriatic. They are analysed applying Paul Ricoeur’s method of exploring the symbol, as proposed in “The Symbol Gives Rise to Thought”, the concluding chapter of his volume The Symbolism of Evil. Following his idea, the author of this study indicates four symbols: the desert, the prison, the theatrum mundi and the garden, by means of which she tries to approach the main symbol: the island. She elaborates on each of them on the basis of two different books, proposing two diverse interpretations of the notion in focus and uncovering attendant human experience they convey.

The multi-author monograph titled Peripheries in Croatian Literature and Culture is the result of an international Croatian studies scientific conference held on May 7-9, 2019, which the Croatists of the Institute of Slavonic Philology organized on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Croatian philology at the Silesian University in Katowice. The speakers delivered 80 papers and the whole conference was attended by about 100 participants. Among them were representatives of many Croatian studies both from Croatia, Montenegro as well as from Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, Germany and Australia. This publication is one of the two parts of the two-volume post-conference book, which consists of texts from the fields of literary and cultural studies. It is divided into three sections, titled: Periferija - teorija, poetika, politika, Čitanje periferije and Na periferiji kanona. The range of topics is very wide: from old Croatian literature (e.g. Kajkavian literature) and folk literature (e.g. the question of the place of folk literature in the history of Croatian literature or the phenomenon of Dalmatian border mentality) to "newer" literature, both prose and poetry, essays and journalism. The monograph also contains several articles dealing with general issues, such as the condition of the humanities in the postmodern world, regionalism, and the attitude of Croats toward Yugoslavia. The authors devote much space to the problem of the canon. There are also articles on television series, comic books and the status of minority literature. The post-conference volumes are edited and published in cooperation with several Croatian university centres. In the case of the literary and cultural studies volume, these are the Croatian Studies departments of the University of Zagreb and of the University of Zadar.
