`Uvodeći dvije potpuno nove društvene grupacije: radnike, u romanu `Ho-ruk`, i seljake, u romanu `Bukve`, Kikić je nedvosmisleno razbio svojevrsnu monotoniju romansijerskog rada u međuratnoj književnosti Bosne i Hercegovine.`

About the author

Hasan Kikić

7 books1 follower
Hasan Kikić was a well known Bosnian writer and a fighter for social justice.

Kikić grew up in a poor family. His talent for literature was discovered early on. Thanks to his uncle he was able to attend the school for teachers in Derventa. He led a student protest and was soon expelled but able to finish in Zagreb. After graduation he joined the army where his literary career began with publication of his works in various literary journals and magazines. After the army he married Anka Jovanović in August 1932. He was worried that his wife would be persecuted for marrying someone of different religion and he permanently moved to Croatia. Because of his political activism he was noticed (negatively) by the government. He joined the Partisans when the WW2 started. He was captured by the Chetniks led by Uroša Drenović and murdered in a brutal ritual sacrifice.

His literary work was led by the fight for social justice. He often wrote under pseudonims ("Alija Korjenić", "Red", "Lepojko Kosić" i "A. Kosić") in order to protect his reputation as a teacher. His Marxist and Communist views were not for the sake of academics or philosophy but for the sake of a dream for changing the world he lived in, to the modern world that is free of poverty and hunger. He fought for his ideals and died for them too.
