Anto Gardaš: ' Damjanovo jezero' ; 'Damjan's lake' by Anto Gardaš

Anto Gardaš bio je hrvatski suvremeni književnik za djecu i mlade koji je stvarao u razdoblju druge polovine dvadesetog stoljeća. Svoju je vrijednu zbirku Damjanovo jezero objavio 1996. godine. Ona sadrži osam bajki, koje redom nose nazive: Brončani kotlić, Damjanovo jezero, Ledendvor, Čudo na kamenitom brijegu, Lahorka, Kraljica Felicita, Zelenkova njiska i Krilati Bolem. Zadane su bajke građene prema ustaljenim obrascima klasičnih motiva, ali i istodobno obogaćene unošenjem novih elemenata i strukture. Uvođenjem takvih karakteristika, određene bajke u zbirci određujemo kao moderne bajke, dok ostale u potpunosti nose obilježja narodnih. Takvim postupcima i podjelom, Gardaš još jednom dokazuje svoje poznavanje dječje mašte i ponosno stoji među značajne književnike toga razdoblja, koji su stvarali slične ostvaraje i uspjehe. ; Anto Gardaš was a Croatian writer for children and young people, who created during the second half of the 20. century. He published his valuable collection Damjanovo jezero in 1996. It contains eight fairy tales, which names are: Bronze kettle, Damjans lake, Ledendvor, Miracle on a rocky hill, Lahorka, Queen Felicita, Zelenkova njiska and The winged bolem. They are built according to established forms of classical fairy tales, but at the same time enriched with new elements and structure. By introducing such characteristisc, we define certain fairy tales as modern works, while the others fully bear the chacteristisc of folk tales. With such actions and division, Gardaš once again proves his knowledge of childrens imagination and stands proudly amoung the significant writers of that period, who created similar achievements and successes.
