Planine

Synopsis

Planine (Croatian for 'The Mountains') is a work of prose fiction, generally considered to be the first Croatian novel. It was written by Petar Zoranić in 1536 and published posthumously in Venice in 1569. The story tells about a poet's imaginary seven-day journey across Croatian mountains on which he embarks to forget his love miseries. Although pastoral in form, the principal line of the story is patriotic. It is composed of 24 chapters, and the introduction contains a dedication to Matej Matijević, the canon of Nin.
