A literary text can become space for transformation of the reader. In some cases, through the impact of content and a specific form, reading becomes not only an intellectual experience based on the interpretation of the already read text, but the very act of reading is understood as an act of metamorphosis. In the article two Croatian literary works are discussed: a pastoral novel by Petar Zoranić written in the 16th century and lacrimae, an epic poem by Ivan Gundulić dating back to the 17th century. Both pieces are characterized by the use of genre conventions to show and cause the transformation of an individual. In the novel, the character experiences transformation from a young man overwhelmed by love fever into a conscious citizen-Patriot. In the epic poem, a sinner is affected by the act of repentance and tries to return to the path of God’s grace. Reading the text can become an act of transformation thanks to the use of narrative, which is conceived as a way to organize experience by a subject who identifies the literary hero’s metamorphosis with his/her own transformation in real time.

Zoranić built the problem of geopolitical and real time and space in his highly complex literary work through the use of genre. The work is constructed based on of Sannazzaro’s Arcadia, inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphosesand Dante’s Inferno, with an epistemological framework dedicated to Matijević and written according to the style and philosophy of Petrarch and the national folklore of love poems. In addition, the importance of literaturein an existentially threatened community is strictly related to the dichotomy of the epistemology of the appraisal of poetry as present from the pre-Platonic epoch to Zoranić’s humanistic debates. Zoranić speaks in favour of the poet as a medium of God (poeta theologus). Just like his models (especially Petrarch and Dante as supporters of studia humanitatis) he relies on church authorities (Saint Jerome, Augustine, Cassiodorus and Saint Isidore of Seville). Therefore, the author manages to capture in this poetical and cultural context the personal issues presented in literature (in Petrarch’s pastoral themes) as well as community-related issues (paradise and an existentially threatened community). As a result of a journey through shepherds’ retreats, the area of deželji that is at the same time Arcadia, theAvenue des Champs-Élysées and Paradise Lost, transforms into a wasteland. The destroyed cities and strongholds along the Krka canyon (the locus horridus as a symbol of the seized bašćina [ fatherland]), down the river Krkafrom its source to the mouth (catharsis/ re-birth) are symbols of the young poet’s turning from personal literature (lyrical poetry) to serious anti-Ottoman literature, aimed at saving literature’s identity as well as the bašćinian.The description of the deserted land – a symbol of a historical martyr place – is a message about the community’s role as sacrificial lamb. The return to Nin (the pseudo-mythological oldest town in the bašćina) brings the search to an end, but as a return to the starting point of the individual and the community. Zoranić introduces an allegory to the end of Mountains (Planine): the farewell at the beautiful Jela’s grave in his native Nin is a literary farewell to Petrarch’s Donna, notwithstanding whether it is a girl or the poet’s mother.The author’s decision to deal with national issues is reflected in the shift from Jela’s grave to the celebration of the famous bašćinianina [grave] of Juraj Divnić.

The article interprets Velebit as a space of peripatetic literature beginning, naturally, with Petar Zoranić’s Planine (written in 1536 and published in 1569) wherein, in addition to a personal psychogram on conventional lovesickness (“beteg”), the author problematizes the general situation in his “scattered heritage” (“rasuta bašćina”) (under Ottoman and Venetian threat). As opposed to Zoranić’s imaginary voyage formulated as an allegorical voyage of enlightenment along the paths of Velebit, Edo Popović, in his trans-genre Priručnik za hodače (The Walkers’ Manual) (2009), 440 years after Zoranić (to introduce some symbolism), with his zen-roamings in Velebit and his principle of “voluntary poverty,” as mirrored in Henry David Thoreau’s ecological matrix, equally discloses sociograms of not only “scattered heritage”, but of the global world order, as well. The trilogy of travel writings, of this hiking literature by Edo Popović, can be defined as peripatetic literature about Velebit. Yet it has to be stressed that these are travel writings, namely hiking literature with an engaged attitude toward reality.

PL

W artykule pasmo górskie Welebit interpretowane jest jako przestrzeń literatury perypatetycznej. Autorka na początku skupia się na powieści pasterskiej Petara Zoranicia Planine (napisanej w 1536 roku, wydanej w 1569), w której autor oprócz osobistych opisów o konwencjonalnej miłosnej „bolączce” problematyzuje też ogólną sytuację o „rozproszonym dziedzictwie” (niebezpieczeństwo ze strony Turków i Wenecjan). W odróżnieniu od wyimaginowanej podróży Zoranicia, wykoncypowanej jako alegoryczna podróż poznawcza na welebickich szlakach, Edo Popović w transgatunkowym utworze Priručnik za hodače (2009) – swoimi wędrówkami zen po Welebicie oraz z życiową zasadą „dobrowolnego ubóstwa” – w ślad za matrycą ekologiczną zaproponowaną przez Henry’ego Davida Thoreau, 440 lat po powieści Zoranicia (by wprowadzić nieco symboliki) ujawnia socjogramy nie tylko „rozproszonego dziedzictwa”, ale także globalnego porządku świata. Trylogię relacji z podróży, literaturę górską Edo Popovicia można określić jako literaturę perypatetyczną o Welebicie, ze wskazaniem, że jest to opis podróży, literatura górska o zaangażowanym stosunku do rzeczywistości.
