Gorgone

by Ivo Brešan

U ovom romanu autor nastavlja s tradicijom prikazivanja hrvatskih društveno-političkih i povijesnih promjena te njihova utjecaja na svakodnevni život "običnog" čovjeka. Posebnost je romana autorova uporaba heksametra kad prikazuje spjev o mitološkom junaku Pezeju koji je odrubio glavu Gorgoni Meduzi. Osim biografskih elemenata koji se mogu iščitati, autor donosi i priču o Mauriciju Novaku Moru, partizanu unaprijeđenog u dužnosnika Udbe i Ozne čiji život oslikava utjecaj ideologije na pojedinca.
