The treacherous Heart
Slobodan ŠNAJDER
(Croatia)
Abstract
The author, as a sensitive and critical observer of his present, draws on the metaphor of the heart, incorporating his 'Balkan experience', to direct the reader's thoughts to the relativity of the categories of good and evil. The core idea, philosophically grounded and historically authenticated, is the question of the brotherhood of the human race, especially in the face of modern crises in Europe and the world such as the migrant crisis and, more recently, the Corona crisis.
