Bolest
The novel belongs to Majdak's cycle of existentialist prose, which allegorically addresses the problems of life in an urban environment.
The novel explores themes of alienation, existential crisis, and inner emptiness. The main character faces a profound sense of meaninglessness in everyday life, resulting in anxiety, psychological burden, and a condition symbolized by "illness" – a metaphor for identity crisis and spiritual emptiness. Through an introspective and allegorical approach, Majdak depicts the struggle of an individual with inner turmoil and the social pressures of an urban environment. The novel is notable for its style and thematic depth, initiating Majdak's series of existentialist works, and is considered one of the key works of Croatian literature of that period.
