Prije nekoliko dana dobili smo vijest da je Josip Magdić preminuo u svom rodnom Ogulinu. Tako uvijek kada dobijemo vijest o smrti prijatelja, poznanika, kolege, dragog čovjeka, barem nakratko se zamislimo i zaključimo da priroda ili Bog nisu dovoljno dobro udesili rastanke živih s mrtvima, a onda i ostanak mrtvih u sjećanju živih. No, imamo ipak utjehu da neki mrtvi, poput Josipa Magdića, ostaju u svojim djelima, kompozicijama, knjigama, dobrim djelima uostalom.

Hans Küng, švicarski teolog s dugogodišnjom njemačkom adresom, umro je 6. travnja 2021. godine. Küng je bio jedan od peritusa na Drugom vatikanskom koncilu, s J. B. Metzom, K. Rahnerom i drugima, supokretač teološkog časopisa Concilium, profesor teologije u njemačkom Tübingenu, nakon oduzimanja prava na poučavanje katoličke teologije, ravnatelj Ekumenskog instituta u Tübingenu, te izrazito plodan pisac s bogatom misaonom ostavštinom. Hans Küng kod mnogih budi drugačije asocijacije, a mimo onih koji te asocijacije zadržavaju na pamfletističkom i senzacionalističkom »čitanju« Künga, kakav je u hrvatskoj javnosti uvelike uvriježen i koji Künga promatra isključivo kroz prizmu enfant terriblea te sukoba s Vatikanom od početka 1970-ih godina pa nadalje, ovdje ćemo spomenuti samo one koji su se ozbiljno uhvatili u koštac s njegovom teologijom.

The present article gives a survey of R. Mironas academic career based upon archive material kept in the Vilnius university library and in the Martynas Mažvydas National Library. R. Mironas’ egodocuments are published for the first time. They help to understand the contemporary situation in the institutions of high education and the constant ideological constraint felt by the academic staff. R. Mironas is the only one among the Lithuanian classicists whose name is rarely spoken, according to the dictum nil, nisi bene. It is not much written about him untill the present day, in spite of the fact that Mironas was one of of the most gifted and colourful personalities. He is regarded as one of the beginners of the Oriental studies in Lithuania. R. Mironas was born to an outstanding family; none of his colleagues could make a similar boast. After the Russian occupation he did not leave Lithuania like most of the Lithuanian intellectuals and in 1944 started teaching at Kaunas university. He made his choice to become a social climber from the very beginning of the occupation. He made a spectacular academic caree due to his ability to adapt to the ideological requirements and to easily change his creed on demand.The present article gives a survey of R.

Junaci Rackovićeve proze neprestano maštaju o zbilji kao mjestu ostvarenja neke često jednostavne ljudske punine i smisla, uvijek planiraju nešto graditi, praviti, poboljšati, pomoći. No, stvarnost sama, kako pokazuje pisac, neprestano se vraća samoj sebi kao istom vidu puke obrane vegetiranja i svojevrsne ’samovolje ruralnog’. Ne bez razloga u jednom razgovoru s novinarima Racković spominje kako je gotovo opsjednut svakodnevicom, a uz to za junake romana »Kokošje slepilo«, »Prsten od lažnog zlata« i »Barske ptice« tvrdi kako je neumoljiva svakodnevnica ’ogroman, opasan i težak brisani prostor koji treba savladati, za sebe osvojiti’.
