View source for Translating Nazor: The Man Who Lost a Button

{{pubdate|23|December|2024}}

The most famous child of the island of Brač is very likely [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Nazor Vladimir Nazor]. His books are part of the canon for Croatian children, and, as fate has laid it out, he also happened to become the first head of state of Croatia during and after World War II.

In 1924, exactly a hundred years ago, he published "Stories from childhood", a collection of short stories. I took one of his stories from that collection and translated it into English, to make some of his work more accessible to more readers, and to see how I would do with such a translation.

I welcome you to read "[[The Man Who Lost a Button]]". Feedback, comments, and reviews are very welcome. I am also planning to make a translation into German, but I don't know how long that will take.
