Plameni inkvizitori #1-2
Plameni inkvizitori I & II
Kao što kaže sama Zagorka, u romanu su prikazana tri posve različita ljubavna para »od kojih će svaki za sebe sa svojom ljubavi i svojom idejom imati svoju publiku«. Roman se temelji na povijesnim izvorima o vladavini kralja Stjepana VI. (u Ugarskoj Stjepana V.) i njegova sina Ladislava IV. Kumanca. Zbivanja se događaju u Hrvatskoj i Ugarskoj (Grič, Budim, Požega) u 13. stoljeću, u vremenu koje pokriva posljednju godinu Stjepanove vladavine (1272.) i prvu godinu vladavine maloljetnog Ladislava i njegove majke Elizabete, Stjepanove udovice (1273.). Riječ je o vremenu borbe Katoličke crkve protiv »krivovjernih« bogumila, sukoba i izmirenja ugarskih kraljeva s Rudolfom Habsburškim i češkim kraljem Otokarom, te svađa hrvatskih velikaša Gisingovaca i Babonića, odnosno o vremenu »luđačkog praznovjerja«, »bjesnila histerične krvoločnosti«, »vijeku ludosti i histerije«.

About the author
Marija Jurić Zagorka
85 books314 followersMarija Jurić Zagorka was a Croatian journalist, novelist and dramatist, the first female journalist and second in the list of most popular Croatian writers of all time (by the 2005 poll compiled by Vjesnik, a Zagreb daily newspaper). Many of her works have been adapted to film.
She was born in the village of Negovec near Vrbovec, to a well-standing family, which allowed her a good education, but in spite of her talent and many gifts, her parents decided to end her education early and, soon after leaving school, married her off to a man whom she barely knew, a Hungarian railway clerk 18 years her senior. The marriage ended abruptly with her escape from the house, first to Sremska Mitrovica and then to Zagreb, due to her husband's and mother-in-law's abuse.
It was in Zagreb that she began her career as a journalist, which was a highly unusual career for a woman in those days, and because of that, she was frowned upon, humiliated and prejudiced against her entire life. She was forced to write anonymously, under pseudonyms that hid her gender, and hide herself at work so nobody would notice there was a woman writing for (and later running) a newspaper. This didn't stop her from being politically involved, fighting against the Germanization and Magyarization of Croatia, and fighting for the rights of women, which caused her considerable problems in life, both professionally and privately.
Urged by Bishop Strossmayer, Zagorka began writing historic novels, usually set in 16th, 17th and 18th century Croatia. She instantly became popular amongst the people, who endearingly called her "The Fairy of Zagorje" (upon publishing Grička vještica) and "Queen of Croatians" (upon publishing Gordana: Kraljica Hrvata). The critics and her colleagues, however, constantly put her down, ridiculed her work, slurred her as a person and as a writer, and deliberately ignored her in literary magazines and almanacs. Still, she kept on writing and published her works as a part of her newspaper so they would be affordable to the general public, adapted her own and the works of August Šenoa for theater, ran two magazines "Ženski list" (1925- 1938) and "Hrvatica" (1938-1940) addressed to the female public, and with her young female colleagues formed the Society of Croatian Female Writers.
Upon the formation of Independent State of Croatia, the magazine "Hrvatica" was forcibly canceled and her entire estate is taken from her, leaving her without means to support herself. Desperate, Zagorka attempted suicide, but luckily survived. Living in Zagreb, she saw the end of WWII thanks to the financial help and care of her loyal public. Despite her age and weak health, she continued fighting for the rights of women, even though it earned her the ridicule and animosity of her male colleagues, who repeatedly called her "a madwoman" and "mannish old hag", until the day of her death.
None of her novels have been translated into English, but two are available in German: Grička vještica and Malleus maleficarum. 11 of her novels, published in Croatian, are found in the Library of Congress. The exact number of the novels she has written is unknown, but it is presumed that she wrote around 35, some of which are lost forever.

My favorite author.
Her books are a perfect combination of love story, history, crime and social chronicle - something for everyone!
These books are my favorite. I read them a few times, and every time I complain when I reached the end.
I will certainly read it again!

Historical novel based upon events in Croatia and Hungary in the second part of the 13. century when powerful Árpád dynasty is going towards their end.
In 1246 Stephen was crowned as junior King and his father, Béla IV of Hungary, entrusted him with the government of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia, but the three provinces were de facto governed by the Ban Stephen Gut-Keled. Stephen's father, attempting to bind the powerful but pagan Cuman tribes more closely to the dynasty, arranged for Stephen's marriage, as a youth, to Elizabeth, the daughter of a Cuman chieftain Köten.
Stephen and his father had very tense reationship, Stephen has crowned himself as the king of the Eastern parts of the kingdom, but his father sent troops against him.
Stephen's wife and son were captured by his father's partisans. However, he managed to repel the siege and to commence a counter-attack..
After his father's death (1270), Stephen inherited the whole Kingdom of Hungary, although the deceased senior king had entrusted his daughter, Anna and his followers to King Ottokar II of Bohemia in his last will, and they had escaped to Prague before Stephen arrived to Esztergom.
In this novel we follow the last year of Stephen's reign (1272) and Ladislas IV the Cuman's early year of reign, Catholic church fighting against the rise of Bogomilism and political games between Ottokar II of Bohemia and Rudolph I of Germany. All of this is the background of the story about 3 different couples who try to find their love in crazy, bloody and superstitious times in medieval Europe.

Meni je ipak na kraju jako drago da je moje fanfikcijsko šesto čulo bilo u pravu šta se tiče kneza Ivana 🤫
Cila se knjiga čita ka prava povijesna drama, puna dramatičnih osjećaja, izjava i htijenja - nekad je malo dosadnjikavo, ali uglavnom jako zabavno. Moram priznat doduše da je definitno predugo trajalo i da mi je najbolji dio bia i osta oni prije nego šta se otputuje u Budim... Tih san prvih dvistotinjak strana najbrže i najželjnije progutala, tih mi je prvih dvistotinjak strana dalo najbolju verziju Crnog Tome - onu di je on utjelovljenje renesansnog čovika, apsolutno zajebantski pametan i kaotičan (nikad u životu neću zaboravit trodnevnu samonametnutu depresiju ležanja u mahovini! vrhunac estetičnosti!), dalo mi je viteške turnire i kneza koji bije i bode svakoga za svoju sestru (Ivan u svojoj "na megdan" eri je 🤌), dalo mi je vjerske sekte i vladare koji su parili da im je međusobno slatkorječivo nadmetanje bolje od seksa, dalo mi je Dorju koja ulijeće u svaki mogući škandal i kriči "samostan!" I stvarno, ostatak knjige je jednostavno meusporediv s time.
U kraju se sve nekako spepavilo i ono, imala san osjećaj da sve boluje od "povijesna romansa epilog sindrom" tj. svi se žene, svi rađaju dicu 😅
Ivan mi je mislin najdraži jer me strašno podsića na Ardenicinog Sašu... samo je Ivan malo uspava čak i mene s opetovanim domoljubnim monologiranjem i tom njegovom preidaliziranom pogledu na čast uff nekad san ga tila tako zadavit! Al ono, s ljubavlju. Moran se podsitit da je to ka 13.stoljeće i ka povijesni konetkst blabla
Al e, osamsto strana kasnije i ne mogu virovat koliko je svaki lik ima kostima znači vau. Doduše, niko nema više kostima od našega Tome 🫡
Prva pročitana Zagorkina knjiga... Nadan se da će ostale bit još i bolje! 🤞

Radi se o još jednom genijalnom Zagorkinom romanu. To je prikaz turbulencija u Hrvatskoj u 13. stoljeću, za vrijeme vladavine Arpadovića.
No i zanemarivanjem povijesnog konteksta, čitatelju željnom napetosti, kriminala, spletki, urota, dojmljvih junakinja i visokih strojnih momaka će se roman definitivno svidjeti. 1383 stranice daju pravu omjer zaokreta, osnova, bitki, vitlanja mačevima i svega što volimo ;)

August 27, 2012The balance of power changes constantly (though seemingly in circles), and pretty much any outcome seems possible. Much better than I admit to have expected. Unfortunately, the publishers decided to cut the book in 4 parts (and this is the first one) in what seems to be a somewhat cynical decision, to get more money than they would have had the book been printed in its entirety, but as expected. I will do my best to get my hands on the rest of the text.

I remember being twelve-years-old on the beach in Croatia reading this book, and loving it so much that I wished I lived in the 13th century. Well that love has only deepened through the years and now I try to desperately buy this book and read it again, but so far no luck.

April 28, 2020Ova je knjiga ima pretežak rječnik za mene i nakon protičane ove knjige samo razmišljam "tko tu koga?" Žao mi je jer ne mislim da je loša knjiga, nego ja nemam dar za čitanje Jurić Zagorkinih knjiga.

CRO/ENG
Još jedna godina u znaku Marije Jurić Zagorke i njezinih velikih djela, i po opsegu, i značaju. Kao zaseban naslov, ''Plameni inkvizitori'' su vjerojatno i najzamršeniji roman do sada, budući da u fokusu imamo čak tri ženska lika, čije se sudbine međusobno isprepliču, dok pratimo radnju prožetu povijesnim događajima i osobama koje će obilježiti ove prostore u 13. st. Paralelno s time, imamo i romanse, kako bi pojačale osjećaj zabrinutosti za onima kojima su istinska ljubav na prvom mjestu, dok se zgražamo nad onima koji su vođeni požudom i vlastitim interesima. Naravno, što bi to sve bilo, kada ne bi pravda odigrala svoju ulogu protiv iskvarenosti i pokušaju da se očuva nečiji identitet, ili izvrši kao primjerena kazna za počinitelja nedjela? Najjači aspekti ovog romana svakako moraju biti gorko slatki osjećaji po glavne likove. Dok se njihovi planovi u povijesnim okvirima ne ostvaruju onako, kako ih zamišljaju i planiraju, oni uspijevaju pronaći radost u privatnim životima i sa nadom u perspektivniju budućnost, dokle god su ustrajni u svom vjerovanju. Jedino zamjeram ovom naslovu što mi se čini kao da je ispunjen sa previše sporednih stanica, koje skreću tijek glavne radnje, a bilo bi preporučljivo pročitati ga u kombinaciji sa manjim brojem Zagorkinih radova kroz godinu, kako se ne bi doimalo previše repetitivno, budući da dobrim dijelom prati njezin poznati koncept.
Another year with Marija Jurich Zagorka and her great works, both by length, and by meaning. As a title itself, ''The Flaming Inquisitors'' are probable the most complicated novel to date, since the focus is around three female protagonists, whose destines intertwine with each other, while we follow the plot filled with historical events and persons who've marked this landscape in the 13th century. Parallel with them, we also have romance, as well, to increase the sense of worry for those whom the true love is at first place, while being repulsed by those who are lead by lust and personal gains. Of course, what would all that be, when justice doesn't play it's part against corruption and in the attempt to preserve someone's identity, or enact as a justifiable punishment for the culprit? The strongest aspects of this novel are definitely bitter sweet feelings of the main protagonists. While their plans in historical context don't go, as they've expected them to be, they are able to find joy in their personal lives and with a hope towards more perspective future, as long as they are persistence in their beliefs. My only complain to this title is that seems it's filled with too much of side stages, which redirect the flow of the main plot, and it would be recommendable to read it with a lesser number of Zagorka's work through the year, so it's not too repetitive, since it follows her known concept.

Ova knjiga bila je još jedna nezaboravna avantura. Zagorka je definitivno jedna od mojih najdražih autora i svaka njena priča povuče me u svijet iz kojeg nikada ne želim izaći. Savršen balans između političkih spletki, borbi za prijestolje, dvoboja između pravde i zlobe, dubinski okarakteriziranih likova i nezaboravnih ljubavnih priča ni u ovoj priči nije razočarao. Moram reći da je Dorja imala nevjerojatan "character development". Osobno mislim da je bilo vrlo zanimljivo gledati onu ponositu, lakovjernu i pomalo bezobraznu mladu plemkinju kako raste i spoznaje da svijet nije crno bijeli i da sve nije uvijek onako kako se čini. Također, njen odnos s Ivanom mi je bio presladak i Ivan mi je možda čak najdraži lik. Mislim da ću uvijek pamtiti njegov citat "Strahovito je razumnome čovjeku živjeti u svijetu gdje je zloća podivljala, a dobrota poludjela." Kroz cijelu knjigu jako me podsjećao na Gordanu. Ali moram priznati da sam slutila da je on bio naš vitez Sokol, iako je to Zagorka majstorski zakamuflirala. Tajana je bila također jako zanimljiv lik, puna emocionalne borbe i dvojbe. I JAKO mi je drago da je dobar strijelac. To nisam očekivala. Crni Tomo je bio isto jako dobro osmišljen lik. Iako mi je Gordana (isto od Zagorke) spojlala da će završiti s Dorjom, moram priznati da sam do samog kraja bila zbunjena i nisam znala kako će to napraviti. Primijetila sam da je novi book trend pisati "moraly grey characters", ali prema meni treba pisati više likova kao Tomo. Likova koji osjećaju duboku ljubav prema svijetu, ne samo jednoj osobi, ali zbog vlastitog ponosa ili straha da će biti odbačeni pokušavaju uništiti taj dio sebe, ali ni oni sami to ne žele. Crni Tomo bio je zaista zanimljiv lik, malo kao da se Robin Hood pomiješao sa Sinišom 😂. Uglavnom, savršena knjiga

Nádherný historicko-romantický príbeh s dávkou tajomna, dobrodružna ale aj politikárčenia a dvorských intríg zasadený do Uhorska 13. storočia.
Na tejto knihe milujem všetko. Príbeh, postavy, psychológiu charakterov, aj staré vydanie v slovenskom preklade, ktorý dnes už zaváňa archaizmom, ale práve ten prepožičiava príbehu väčšiu autentickosť. Už roky patrí do top desiatky mojich kníh a nemyslím, že z nej niekedy vypadne.
Keď som bola mladšia, najviac ma na tejto knižke bavili romantické linky. A aj keď je celý príbeh skvelo premyslený a ponúka naozaj kvalitnú historickú zápletku, ja na ňom aj tak najviac milujem práve tie dva výrazné ľúbostné príbehy, ktoré autorka do príbehu vplietla.
V prvej časti tejto dualógie síce tej romantiky ešte nie je toľko (aspoň nie medzi mojím obľúbeným párom), ale postava Toma Loborského už tu dokazuje, že si štatút najromantickejšieho mužského hrdinu, s akým som sa kedy v literatúre stretla, nevybojovala len tak pre nič za nič.
Ku knihe sa rada vraciam a vrelo odporúčam každej milovníčke historických romancí.

Volim volim volim ovu knjigu i rado preporucujem svakoj mladoj devojci punoj snova o ljubavi kao neizostavan deo mladelackih dana. Danasnje devojcice odrastaju brze nego sto bi trebalo i nemaju vremena da sanjaju, mastaju vec jurcaju u surovu realnost medjupolnih odnosa. Ovo je knjiga o tome kako bi ljubav muskraca trebalo da izgleda i kakva se i u stvarnosti srece i dogadja zenama koje imaju srece, postuju sebe i zahtevaju apsolutno postovanje od partnera.

Zagorka kakvu volimo i obozavamo. Radnja je pomalo neujednačena, u pojedinim dijelovima ide presporo, nekada u središtu dosadana Elizabeta i njezin ljubavnik. Rasplet je prebrzo išao, prvo se 900 stranica Dorja i Tomo mrze, da bi se u 50 strana oženili i imali dijete. Svojom radnjom previše podsjeća na gricku vješticu. Puno detalj sličnosti. Ali, u svakom slučaju,preporučava pročitati.

Odlična knjiga, posebice posljednjih nekoliko poglavlja. Naslovnica čitatelju obećava "okrutne igre moći, krvave bitke i ljubavna iskušenja u mračno doba povijesti" te knjiga uistinu ne manjka niti jedan od navedenih aspekata. Ukoliko su nastavci dostojni kvalitete predstavljene ovom knjigom, Plameni inkvizitori bi se mogli naći među mojim osobnim favoritima. Svakako preporučam.

Jeden z mojich najoblubenejsich romanov detstva.
October 4, 2025
Prvi put sam ovu knjigu pročitala u osnovnoj školi i sada zahvaljujuči Gornjogradskim coprnicama opet.... šokiralo me je koliko su zapravo citati iz te knjige primjenjivi i u današnje doba...
"Živimo u doba kad zloća i dobrota prelaze granice. Evo, kraljevska obitelj živi u odvratnosti. Mirena sebe i Radoslava predaje savršenstvu duha i tijela. Dragoša okajava zvjerstvo Kumanke. Olivero daje svoju čast ljepoti svojeg lica, Orhida izdaje svoju krv, Tajana, eto, žrtvuje mladi život – da njezin ljubljeni bude sretan s drugom. Strahovito je živjeti razumnom čovjeku u ovo doba kad je zloća podivljala, a dobrota poludjela."
"Konradov brav ne može dospjeti do svojega gospodara da mu priopći kako se neki mladić usudio usprotiviti njegovu jednookom prvaku – jer se Konrad potpuno izgubio, uživajući u loženju lomače što već visoko plamti. Oko ove ognjene smrti natjerali su Konradovi ljudi seljake da kleče i čekaju. Svi se pokoravaju. U poniznosti rođeni, u pokornosti odgojeni, prolazeći kroz život, svezani nevidljivim okovima robovanja vječitom strahu pred knezovima, pred svakim koji nosi šarenu odoru i britki mač, shrvani bacaju se oni na koljena."
"– Lomača! Krv! Boj! Otimačina, zasjede, uhode! U kakvo to živimo doba! Zar su tako živjeli i ljudi prije nas? Hoće li tako živjeti nakon nas? Dovijeka? Zar ljudsko srce ne poznaje nikakvih dobrota?!"
"Živimo u doba kad zloća i dobrota prelaze granice. Evo, kraljevska obitelj živi u odvratnosti. Mirena sebe i Radoslava predaje savršenstvu duha i tijela. Dragoša okajava zvjerstvo Kumanke. Olivero daje svoju čast ljepoti svojeg lica, Orhida izdaje svoju krv, Tajana, eto, žrtvuje mladi život – da njezin ljubljeni bude sretan s drugom.

Ovo djelo sam pročitala više puta i svaki put s istim žarom uronim u taj svijet. Likovi, povijest, radnja — sve su komponente spojene s takvom snagom i ljepotom da čovjek ne može ostati ravnodušan.
Zagorka ponovo majstorski kombinira povijesni ambijent i romantične zaplete, a kemija među likovima osjeća se autentično i snažno — njihove strasti, sukobi i savezi oblikuju priču na način koji ju čini gotovo bezvremenskom: “...ali ljubav u srcu - to je zvijezda gore na nebu. Skriva se u noći, ali utrnuti ne može...”
Tomo Crni Loborski jedan je od onih Zagorkinih likova koji ostaju u srcu dugo nakon što se knjiga zatvori.....

Dielo staršieho rázu, ale nemenej krásne, doplňujúce o nečakané zvraty. Patrí medzi moje srdcovky!

Nebolo to vôbec zlé, chvíľu som si musela zvykať na ten starý jazykový štýl, ale aspoň to pôsobí autenticky a zaujímavo. Idem na druhú časť 😊

Interesantna i dinamicna lektira.

Bilo je davno, ali pripada onim romanima koji su me navukli na čitanje.

Dobro štivo, samo malo previše opširno. Neki opisi su se mogli i preskočiti.
