Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Planine is the title of the first Croatian novel, written by Petar ZoraniAa in 1536 and published posthumously in Venice in 1569. It is a pastoral-allegorical novel (a very common type of prose in that period), written in combined prose and verse. Typologically it's a unique piece of its kind in Croatian literature, with motifs borrowed from Latinate and Italian literatures, with clearly discernible influences of Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Boccaccio, Petrarch, Jacopo Sannazaro, as well as domicile writers such as Marko MaruliAa and Croatian zaAiinjavci. The novel is composed of 24 chapters, and the introductory contains a dedication to Matej MatijeviAa, the canon of Nin. Planine are in fact an allegory: they are a dream, transferred to the alleged Zoran's path from Nin across the sea to Starigrad under the Velebit, and thence uphills, over Paklenica, across the Velebit, and from Lika to Dinara, where he would by the river of Krka settle down to A ibenik and thence by the sea back to Nin.
