The city of Dubrovnik was based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Ragusa, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development during the 15th and 16th centuries. Dubrovnik was one of the centers of the development of the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.

American novelist Jonathan Franzen visited Zagreb, Croatia, on 22 March 2012. He appeared at the VIP jazz club and it was one of the city's most important literary events over a long time. I hope I have managed to catch on tape at least a small bit of Mr. Franzen's disarming charm and humor, as well as a great atmosphere among the fan-filled audience, as he read an excerpt from his latest masterpiece, Freedom (2010), and recounted his encounter with an avid reader (that happens to be US President Barack Obama :)). A truly memorable evening! (Note: The video was shot with a handycam from the back of the Vip Club, zoomed on the lowish stage.)

Hatze was born in Split (then Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia) to a family of respected craftsmen from Split. During school he was absorbed with musical events, especially with sacred music and folk songs. Accidentally discovering his exceptional musicality, and with family support, he attended all the performances in the newly opened Municipal Theater in Split. Strong experience of orchestral and choir performances in the Split theater encouraged the 16 year old Hatze to sing at Chapel Mass. During that time he wrote "Misa a Kapela" (in Croatian text), which was performed with great success. Later other Dalmatian school choirs started performing his musical work. He completed his studies in composition in 1902 at the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro with the great operatic composer Pietro Mascagni ...

We welcome you to book a charming double room apartment Split Bella Marija. Apartment is 50 m from the sandy beach, marina, diving center and sailing club and tennis club, 10 minutes walking distance to the top center. Split is situated on a peninsula between the eastern part of the Gulf of Kaštela and the Split Channel. The Marjan hill (178 m), rises in the western part of the peninsula. The ridges Kozjak (779 m) and his brother Mosor (1339 m) protect the city from the north and northeast, and separate it from the hinterland. Split is an ancient town with over 2000 years of rich history. Many rulers and cultures took it for its own and each left its mark. You can still walk through the Roman palace built by the emperor Diocletian in 305 AD and see a unique blend of various cultures reflected in the local architecture. The historical impact is not just on the old buildings but also in the authentic Mediterranean flavour of life in Split. Music, painting, theatre, literature... it would be difficult to list all the arts where local artists have excelled over the centuries. A walk through the city will let you discover memorials to some of them; Marko Marulic - the father of Croatian literature, Ivan Mestrovic -- internationally famous sculptor... to name just a few. Two main cultural events take place in the summer, a traditional pop music festival and an opera and drama festival with best setting for Verdi's Aida. Park forest Marjan is huge expanse of undisturbed natural ...

22.01.09 Macedonian and Croatian delegations erected a commemoration plague in Gjakovo to honour Croatian Bishop Josip Juraj Strosmaer for publishing the Miladinov Brothers' Collection. Konstantin and Dimitar Miladinov had a major role in the waking of the macedonian people and their nationality. With their teaching activities and the collecting of the macedonian folk literary works, they set the grounds for the modern Macedonian literature. Prof. Dr. Wolf Oschlies on the ethnic identity of the Miladinov brothers: "The "Bulgarian Folksongs" compendium by the brothers Dimitria and Konstantin Miladinov, which appeared in Zagreb in 1861 - has so often been presented as evidence of the Bulgarian identity of the Macedonians, there are a few words that should be said: the collection includes 660 folksongs, exactly 77 of them Bulgarian, the rest Macedonian. At the time of its publication there was no such thing as a "Bulgaria" nor a "Macedonia", since both were part of the Turkish Empire - with the result that the Bulgars and the Macedonians were united by a common interest, interest in liberation from the Turks. Seen from this aspect, the purpose of the folksong collection was a twofold one - to introduce the Macedonians to their own ethnic cultural heritage, and to draw the attention of the learned world to the Macedonians. With this latter goal in mind, Konstantin Miladinov, who had studied in Russia on a Bulgarian scholarship and maintained close links with reputable ...

Lately, the worldvide celebrities are coming here to see what is it about. And what is Hvar really about? Mlaska bay on Hvar Hvar - Mlaska bay While separation from the mainland can sometimes be a handicap, it also provides some protection from the factory chimneys and other misfortunes which come with civilisation. Instead, there are vast fields of lavender, ancient olive trees and vineyards, in immaculate harmony between man and nature. There are wine and olives, so a guest wishing to get closer to nature will stop at a small inn (Hvar "konoba") rather than a top quality restaurant. He will taste real home-made wine instead of some famous sparkling wine, he will sing the old island songs and forget the monotony of the everyday routine. Every guest is really a Guest here.
