Zusammenfassung:"I have been traveling for 20 years, and some journey it has been! From Asia to the Americas, throughout Europe, the Caribbean & I have met many wonderful people, who inevitably would ask, "Where are you from?" And whenever I responded, "Croatia," it was simply difficult for them to place. Inquisitive minds would persist, "Where is it? How does it look? What kinds of people live there?" I had no images to show them, no book to suggest. For 20 years it was my heart's desire to create something beautiful that, instead of words, I could just place in their hands and proudly say, "I am from here. Please, take a look!" "Croatia" is not a collection of images, it is the experience of Croatia in one long breath, one uninterrupted journey, from Ilok to Savudrijia to Dubrovnik: breathing, living, meeting the people of Croatia, seeing the land through their eyes, their soul.
The journey was, for me, a pilgrimage through the country of my roots, the country that was, and always will be my home. I believe that there are many Croatians throughout the world who feel the same. They will find themselves here, in the pages of this book, where it is possible, even from afar, to immerse oneself in the extraordinary land of our origins. A traveler, as well, will enjoy this journey, will revisit many cherished places - and even discover Croatia anew. I have many beliefs, and I will mention but two that are core beliefs, for they can be experienced in Croatia. Firstly, I believe that artistic creation, Art, is a reflection of the artist's state of mind. Second, and even more important, I believe that each one of us has the creative capacity to leave a trace, something that will remain, for our children, and for their children, to show them something of our existence, something that may bring inspiration and beauty to their lives.
A legacy of beauty, that one hopes will remain. Croatia is my journey, my state of mind, and I encourage others to make their own journey, to leave a trace, tell a story, as I have finally told mine."--Mario Novak
