Abstract

U ovom ću diplomskom radu proučavati putopise hrvatskog suvremenog pisca Hrvoja Šalkovića. U njima ću tražiti odgovor na pitanje o smislu života. Ono što ću na temelju spomenutih putopisa pokušati dokazati jest da su putovanja jedan od mogućih odgovora na pitanje o smislu života ili da ona sama po sebi, ako nisu odgovor na pitanje o smislu života, vode do tog odgovora. U prvom dijelu diplomskog rada ukratko ću se fokusirati na hrvatsku suvremenu književnost te ću prikazati filozofsko stajalište o smislu života. Drugi dio ovog rada bavit će se Šalkovićevim likom i djelom. Uz kratku piščevu biografiju pozabavit ću se kronološkom interpretacijom njegova tri putopisa: Pala karta, Pravi se da ovo nisi vidio i Nulti meridijan. Ono na što ću posebno obraćati pozornost u putopisima jest djelovanje putovanja na čovjekov život i čovjekovo neprestano traganje za novim na tim putovanjima. Na kraju ovog diplomskog rada iznijet ću svoje razmišljanje o pročitanom i na temelju pročitanog zaključiti možemo li na pitanje o smislu života odgovoriti besciljnim lutanjem po svijetu.

Abstract (english)

In this thesis I will study travelogues of a Croatian contemporary writer Hrvoje Šalković. In them I will be searching for the answer of the meaning of life. What I will, on the basis of the aforementioned travelouges, try to prove is that travels are one of the possible answers to the meaning of life or that they are in of itself, if not the anwser to the meaning of life, leading to that answer. In the first part of this thesis I will shortly focus on Croatian contemporary literature and I will present the philosophical stance of the meaning of life. The second part of this thesis will deal with Šalković's character and work. Along with a short biography of the writer, I will deal with the chronological interpretation of three of his travelogues: Pala karta, Pravi se da ovo nisi vidio and Nulti meridijan. What I will pay special attention to, in the travelogues, is the affect of traveling on people's lives and man's constant search for new on those travels. At the end of this thesis I will present my thoughts on the read and on the basis of read conclude can we, on the question of the meaning of life, answer with goalless wanderlust across the world.
