'The Observer'
Quite close to the very centre of the city there is a sculpture of August Šenoa. It is a relaxed portrait of the most prominent Croatia novelist from the 19th century. He is leaned to an old news-post and observes people passing by.
Someone put flowers around his neck. I really wonder who did that and why... Šenoa was writing in the time of realism but also wrote historical romance novels. An interesting mix that many followed and reworked in the following decades. There is his poem written on the post's surface.
His most known novel is "Goldsmith's Gold" about the love of a middle-class girl and a nobleman. Take time to read it if you're interested in the ways of old times.
I find the sculpture well placed. It is tastefully incorporated into surroundings. The statue lives with it, doesn't take anything away. On the contrary, it adds very much to the atmosphere. This is the view from the nearby Caffe. August is just casually standing there in the background.
Šenoa died from pneumonia when helping ordinary people cope with the consequences of the Grand Earthquake that hit Zagreb in 1880. He was a member of the parliament at the time. A respectful, capable man, given the honour to represent his people. Take a look at them today... Nobodies who crawled out of who knows where and make good business fooling people with piles of promises.
Enjoy your day! :-)
