Traditional stories and legends have deep roots in identity of every nation, and this work is presenting traditional stories and legends in the novel Put bez sna. After explanation about oral literature and its classification, there is a short preview of the historical context – the story takes place in 80' of 17th century, and the big migration of people from Rama was in 1687., four years after the defeat of Kara Mustafa at Vienna. That defeat was the reason for worsening catholic-muslim relations and people from Rama had to escape. Franciscan Pavao Vučković was one of the leaders of that migration, and important role was played by his colleague Stjepan Matić as well. Monastery of Rama was a victim of several robberies and it was also burned to ground many times. Mostly Turks did those crimes, but two times it was set on fire by people who were building it. Sirdar characters are also represented, especially Matija Nakić, Smoljan Smiljanić and probably the most famous one, Stojan Janković. There are also some stories about everyday life, about unimportant people, at least at first sight. Also, this work consists the story about Miraculous Lady of Sinj, actually the painting of her, that managed to survive all the fires in the monastery and that took some bypass route to reach Sinj, the town that was successfully defended from Turks in 1715.
