| Abstract | Trilogija o letećem Martinu Dubravka Jelačića Bužimskog sastoji se od romana: Sportski
život letećeg Martina (1984)., Balkanska mafija (1986.) i Martin protiv CIA-e i KGB-a (1988.).
Radnja trilogije započinje naizgled uobičajenim životom četrnaestogodišnjeg Martina koji je
živio sa svojim djedom. Opisana je Martinova školska svakodnevica kako bi se lik približio
stvarnome liku djeteta. Zbog toga je Sportski život letećeg Martina primjereniji dječjoj dobi što
potvrđuje Martinova dječja iskrenost i upotrebljavanje elemenata humora. Međutim, Martin je
bio poseban lik, a čitatelj to saznaje na samome početku Sportskog života letećeg Martina kada je
opisana njegova fantastična sposobnost skakanja u vis i u dalj više i dalje od svjetskih rekordera.
U Balkanskoj mafiji Martin je bio prikazan kao detektiv, a roman je napisan s odmakom od
fantastične sposobnosti. U Martinu protiv CIA-e i KGB-a pretpostavka o postojanju fantastične
sposobnosti pokreće radnju, ali samo kako bi se prikazao rad obavještajnih službi i prisiljavanje
Martina na razne zadatke.
Martinova fantastična sposobnost pokrenula je radnje prvoga i trećega dijela trilogije, a
drugi dio trilogije pokrenula je nepravedna sudbina pojedinca. U prvome dijelu trilogije Martin je
bio u sukobu s predstavnicima komunističkoga režima Jugoslavije koji su ga pokušavali
iskoristiti za ispunjavanje interesa u skladu s komunističkom propagandom zajedništva. U
trećemu dijelu Martin je bio u sukobu s predstavnicima svjetskih velesila pa je preko njegovih
leđa prikazan svjetski sukob Istoka i Zapada, odnosno, sukob komunističke ideologije SSSR-a i
liberalne ideologije SAD-a. U središtu problematike koju trilogija prikazuje nalazi se sposobnost
i volja državnih režima da preko svojih institucija i predstavnika iskoriste pojedinca za svoje
interese. Predstavnici režima služe se svim sredstvima kako bi ispunili svoje ciljeve, a pojedinac,
kao kafkijanska žrtva, upada u stanje bespomoćnosti i potpuno je nadvladan. Zbog toga se
trilogija D. J. Bužimskoga o letećem Martinu može shvatiti kao kritika ideologijama kojima se
vode vladajuće sile, a posebno je naglašena bespomoćnost pojedinca u sukobu s takvim
neprijateljima. |
| Abstract (english) | The trilogy about the flying Martin by Dubravko Jelačić Bužimski consists of the novels:
The Sports Life of the Flying Martin (1984), The Balkan Mafia (1986) and Martin against the
CIA and the KGB (1988). The plot of the trilogy begins with the seemingly ordinary life of
fourteen-year-old Martin who lived with his grandfather. Martin's school everyday life is
described in order to bring the character closer to the real character of the child. Therefore, the
Sports Life of Flying Martin is more appropriate for children's age, which is confirmed by
Martin's children's sincerity and use of elements of humor. However, Martin was a special
character, and the reader learns this at the very beginning of the Sports Life of the Flying Martin
when he describes his fantastic ability to jump high and far more and farther than world record
holders. In the Balkan Mafia, Martin was portrayed as a detective, and the novel was written with
a departure from fantastic ability. In Martin against the CIA and the KGB, the presumption of the
existence of a fantastic ability triggers action, but only to show the work of the intelligence
services and to force Martin on various missions.
Martin’s fantastic ability set in motion the actions of the first and third parts of the trilogy,
and the second part of the trilogy was set in motion by the unjust fate of the individual. In the
first part of the trilogy, Martin was in conflict with representatives of the communist regime of
Yugoslavia who were trying to use him to fulfill interests in accordance with the communist
propaganda of unity. In the third part, Martin was in conflict with the representatives of the world
superpowers, so the world conflict between the East and the West was shown over his back, that
is, the conflict between the communist ideology of the USSR and the liberal ideology of the
USA. At the heart of the issues presented in the trilogy is the ability and will of state regimes to
use the individual for their interests through their institutions and representatives. Representatives
of the regime use all means to fulfill their goals, and the individual, as a Kafkaesque victim, falls
into a state of helplessness and is completely overcome. Therefore, Bužimski's trilogy about the
flying Martin can be understood as a critique of the ideologies that guide the ruling forces, and
the helplessness of the individual in the conflict with such enemies is especially emphasized. |
