ŠUMA STRIBOROVA Krunsko delo iz 1916 spisateljice koju su zvali „hrvatskim Andersenom“ i koja je dva puta bila predlagana za Nobelovu nagradu. Bajke iz zbirke sadrže motive inspirisane slovenskom mitologijogijom i vraćaju u život svet prethrišćanskih verovanja običnog čoveka i njegovim čežnjama i lutanjima. Ivana Brlić Mažuranić imala je sedmoro dece i po sopstvenim rečima, pisala je da bi vlastitoj deci „otvorila vrata k onom bajnom, šarolikom svijetu bajki“. Knjiga je objavljena na hrvatskom jeziku, a razumeju je oni kojima je maternji srpski ili bošnjački
Author
Within her native land, as well as internationally, she has been praised as the best Croatian writer for children. She started writing poetry, diaries and essays rather early but her works were not published until the beginning of the 20th century. Her book Croatian Tales of Long Ago (Priče iz davnine), published in 1916, is among the most popular today.In the book Mažuranić created a series of new fairy-tales, but using names and motifs from the Slavic mythology of Croats. It was this that earned her comparisons to Hans Christian Andersen and Tolkien who also wrote completely new stories but based in some elements of real mythology. Brlić-Mažuranić was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. However, she never won the prize due to the fact that, in her time, the prize was not accustomed to be given to women. read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivana_Brlić-Maž...
