Summary/Abstract: In analyses of Vladimir Nazor’s literary work, his novels are least mentioned. Written during different periods, the novels thematise the issues that inspired him creatively. The novel Bloody Days is connected to Nazor’s Istrian period and it, in a way, represents a retort to Italian irredentist aspirations. The novel was written in the tradition of historiographic fiction as set out by Šenoa, along with folk and popular elements which have garnered a remarkable response and reception in Croatian literary practice.
