Život i stvaralaštvo Drage Gervaisa u hrvatsko-slovenskom kontekstu: Čudo djevice Ivane – Zgodba o Vodiški Johanci

Abstract

Drago Gervais (1904–1957), pesnik, pisatelj, dramatik, esejist in zgodovinar, v svojih delih izpostavlja številne zapletene odnose, značilne za hrvaški, slovanski in srednjeevropski kontekst, iz katerega je izhajal in v katerem je živel ter ustvarjal. Namen prispevka je z rekonstrukcijo tega konteksta kot okvirja pesniške usode osvetliti predvsem hrvaško-slovenske in slovensko-hrvaške odnose. Analizirana je Gervaisova manj znana tragikomedija Čudo djevice Ivane (Čudež device Ivane), ki s svojimi besedilnimi in nebesedilnimi elementi priča o bogatih hrvaško-slovenskih odnosih v avtorjevem življenju in ustvarjanju. Drago Gervais (1904–1957), a poet, prose writer, dramatist, essayist and historian, in his life and works focused on numerous complex relationships depicting the Croatian, Slavic and Central-European context in which he was brought up and in which he lived and worked. The scope of this paper is to shed light on these relationships, in particular on the Croatian-Slovenian relationships, by reconstructing the above-indicated context as a framework of a single poetic fate. Gervais’ lesser-known tragicomedy Čudo djevice Ivane (The Virgin Joanna’s Miracle) is analysed within this context as its textual and extra-textual elements witness the rich Croatian-Slovenian relationships in his life and work.
