Zaljubljen do ušiju
Da je ljubav najljepša stvar koja nam se može dogoditi to svi znamo, ali isto tako ona koji puta može biti i "slijepa", može uzrokovati niz nevolja i može biti čak i opasna, u što se uvjerio dječak Mario, koji je glavni lik ovog romana. Dodatna zanimljivost knjige je mogućnost mladim čitateljima (zaljubljenima, te onima koji to nisu ili samo misle da jesu) da provjere svoj stupanj zaljubljenosti u "Testu dubine ljubavnog jada" koji se nalazi na kraju knjige.

About the author
Miro Gavran
79 books103 followersMiro Gavran is a contemporary Croatian author, born in 1961. His works have been translated into 35 languages, and his books have come out in 150 different editions at home and abroad. His dramas and comedies have had more than 200 theatre first nights around the world and have been seen by more than two million theatre-goers.
He is the only living dramatist in Europe to have a theatre festival devoted solely to his plays outside his/her homeland; the Gavranfest has been held in Slovakia since 2003.
He debuted in 1983 with the drama Creon's Antigone, speaking out forcefully about political manipulation. This was followed three years later by the drama Night of the Gods, the theme being the relationship between the artist and the powers-that-be under a totalitarian system. He then wrote a cycle of plays concentrating on male-female relations, in which his heroes were often great historical persons. He has created a series of complex female characters. His heroines are both strong and emotional. He has written some forty plays to date, including Death of an Actor, All About Women, All About Men, George Washington's Loves, Chekhov Says Good-Bye to Tolstoy, How To Kill The President, Greta Garbo's Secret, Parallel Worlds, Nora in Our Time, My Wife's Husband, Dr Freud's Patient...
There have been first nights of his plays throughout the world, in: Rotterdam, Washington, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Buenos Aires, Waterford, Mumbai, Bratislava, Prague, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Krakow, Belgrade, Budapest, Athens, Augsburg, Vienna, Sofia.
He has had nine novels published: Forgotten Son, How We Broke Our Legs, Klara, Margita or A Journey into a Former Life, Judith, John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate and The Only Witness to Beauty, Kafka's friend, along with a collection of short stories entitled Small Unusual People.
In his early novels, he describes life in the Croatian provinces, featuring everyday folk, anti-heroes of sorts, who retain a positive stance towards life even when they are confronted with injustice and major difficulties. This is perhaps best seen in his novel, Forgotten Son (1989), in which the central personage is a slightly mentally challenged young man of twenty.
As a forty-year-old, Gavran started to write psychological-existential novels inspired by biblical characters, bringing them nearer to the sensibilities of contemporary readers. These books have been popular with both believers and non-believers, since their messages are universal.
His books have been published in all corners of the globe: in Beijing, Vienna, St Petersburg, Oslo, Istanbul, Paris, Prague, Bratislava, Sofia, Ljubljana...
Gavran has received more than twenty literary awards in Croatia and abroad, including the Central European Time Award, given annually in Budapest to the best Central European author for overall opus, as well as the European Circle Award given to writers for the confirmation of European values in their texts.
With insight and humour, Miro Gavran has written eight books for children and young people: All Sorts of Things in My Head, How Dad Won Mum, Head Over Heels in Love, Happy Days, Farewell Letter, Plays with a Head and a Tail, Try to Forget and The Teacher of My Dreams. These books have also found their way to adult readers.
Gavran earned his degree in Dramaturgy at the Academy of Theatre, Film and Television in Zagreb.
He first worked as a dramaturge and theatre director at the famous ITD Theatre in Zagreb. Since 1993, he has been living and working as a free-lance, professional writer. His theatre and prose texts have been included in numerous anthologies in Croatia and in countries outside its borders, and his work is studied at universities throughout the world.
He has been living in Zagreb, Croatia since he was twenty. He is married to the actress Mladena Gavran, and founded the Gavran Theatre with her in 2002. Their son Jakov is a student of acting.

Auuu, ovo je jako slabo. Ne mogu vjerovati da je Lanina čitava osobnost njezina kratka crna kosa, prčasti nosić i da je u novinarskom klubu??? Glavni lik dosadan za poludit, koma čovječe. Ostatak svega je doslovno ravna crta.

Karakterizacija likova nikakva: glavni lik je iz obitelji socijalnih slučajeva: mama mu se opija do stupora i ne trijezni se danima, tata radi u vojsci i bjezi od kućnih problema s brojnim ljubavnicama, djeca jedu jaja dok se mama ne otrijezni . . . Onda najmlađi (?!) sin intervenira i sve se čudom riješi kao da nikad nije ni postajao problem rako što se presele u nesretni Zagreb koji jadan jedva trpi i svoje građane s problemima mentalnog zdravlja, pa sin postane socijalni slučaj jer se zaljubi i valjda kopira bolesne obiteljske obrasce...
Na kraju se sve riješi ponovno za onak ne vjerovati povratkom u Zagreb. . .
Top rečenice: putovanje traje 5i pol sati (do Nove Gradiške) otkad su okupirani Okučani. Okučani su odavno oslobođeni, ali je vožnja i dalje ponekad po 5-6 h
