Kako je Antun Gustav Matoš vidio Križevce 1910. godine U spomen 100. godišnjice smrti 2014. godine. (Croatian)

How Antun Gustav Matoš saw Križevci in 1910 In Memory of the 100th Anniversary of His Death in 2014. (English)

Antun Gustav Matoš, a writer, journalist, and a travel writer, spent four days in Križevci in 1910 and on this occasion he wrote a poem which got lost and an article that he published in Mlada Hrvatska, a journal of the Croatian Party of Rights. In this article, Matoš depicts his view of Križevci and its immediate area, but he also expresses his deep dissatisfaction with the neglect of local people in view of economy and culture. Such thinking is a result of Matoš's opinions about economic and other achievements of major European cities, as well as the ones to the west, north and south of Croatia, with a goal, as a member of the Croatian Party of Rights, to stimulate with his critique the local population to a more involved relationship towards the most important economic issues and the founding of trading and other manufacturing companies, as well as an education in practical professions. Matoš displayed all the characteristics of his writing in this brief article, noticing both positive and negative sides of life in Križevci, but not forgetting to express his admiration for the landscape of the Križevci area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hrvatski književnik, novinar i putopisac Antun Gustav Matoš (1873.-1914.) boravio je u Križevcima cetiri dana 1910. godine i tom prigodom napisao jednu pjesmu koja je izgubljena i jedan esej koji je objavio u pravaškim novinama Mlada Hrvatska. U tom clanku Matoš opisuje svoje videnje Križevaca i njegove okolice, ali izražava i duboko nezadovoljstvo zapostavljanjem domacih ljudi u privredi i u kulturi. Ovakvo razmišljanje je posljedica Matoševih videnja gospodarskih i drugih dostignuca u velikim gradovima Europe, kako onih na zapadu i sjeveru, tako i istocno od Hrvatske, s ciljem kako bi kao pravaš kritikom potaknuo domace stanovništvo na angažiraniji odnos prema najvažnijim gospodarskim pitanjima koja ocito i u Matoševom gledanju dobivaju primarno mjesto.
