Mato Lovrak (1899.-1974.) hrvatski je pripovjedač i učitelj. Svoje najpoznatije dječje romane Vlak u snijegu i Družba Pere Kvržice objavio je 1933. Lovrak se smatra jednim od stožernih hrvatskih romanopisaca za djecu.Tridesetih godina se na sceni hrvatske dječje književnosti razmahao žestoki prijepor ne samo oko puta kojim treba krenuti dječja književnost, već i oko toga što uopće treba ponuditi dječjoj čitateljskoj publici. Spor se vodio između onih koji brane fantastičnu dječju književnost i pristalica realistične dječje književnosti. Ova četiri Lovrakova teksta objavljena od 1932. do 1938. pokazuju postupnu radikalizaciju stajališta u zastupanju interesa realistične dječje književnosti, ali, zapravo, i vlastite poetike.

Mato Lovrak (1899-1974) was a Croatian children’s author and a primary teacher. His best known children’s novels, Train in the Snow (Vlak u snijegu) and Pero Knobble’s Gang (Družba Pere Kvržice), were both published in 1933. Lovrak is acknowledged as one of the major Croatian children’s novelists. In the 1930s there was a heated debate on the Croatian children’s literature scene about the direction this literature should take, and about what should be offered for the child readership. A dispute arose between those supporting fantasy in children’s literature and those in favour of realistic books.Four texts by Mato Lovrak, which originally appeared between 1932 and 1938, document the gradual radicalization of Lovrak’s viewpoints in his attempts to defend the interests of realistic children’s literature, and, indeed, of his own poetics.
