Sažetak
The paper will focus on the analysis of value determinants and the description of the mentality and the identity of a particular region at a particular time as they were seen in the eyes of a particular author. Ivan Softa (Sopta) (1906-1945), was a Croatian writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In his realistic novels Days of Misery and Hunger (1937) and Restless Peace (1940), as well as in his other literary achievements, he describes the life of the Herzegovinian village at the time when the First World was about to start. It was an ambience dominated by bare stone, hot sun, sharp north wind called bora, with somewhat scarce and sparse land that made a carefree life impossible. These resources that abound in this Western Balkans region also shaped the specific (Dinaric) mentality of the people of that time: hard as the stone on which they grew up, aggressive and easily flammable like the sun that they were exposed to and unrestrained like the wind, the whipping of which they mercilessly suffered from. But it happened that even from that fiery temper some kind of an original mountaineering-like honesty and confidence, empathy and readiness for self-sacrifice had emerged. Personal martyrdom turning into self-destruction – something that seems to be completely inconceivable to modern man - is embodied in the female characters, whereas emotional rawness and hardness are more characteristic of the author’s male characters in the above-mentioned novels.

Napomena
Ivan Softa (Sopta) (1906.-1945.), bosansko-hercegovački hrvatski književnik, u svojim realističkim romanima Dani jada i glada (1937) i Nemirni mir (1940.), ali i drugim književnim ostvarenjima, opisuje život hercegovačkog sela uz I. svjetski rat. Ambijent u kojem dominiraju goli kamen, žarko sunca, oštra bura, s nešto oskudne i škrte zemlje onemogućili su bezbrižan život. Ti resursi kojima obiluje ova zapadno-balkanska regija oblikovali su i specifičan (dinarski) mentalitet ondašnjih ljudi, tvrd poput kamena na kom je stasao, žegaran poput sunca kojim je pečen i neobuzdan poput vjetra kojim je nesmiljeno šiban. No, i iz te vatrene ćudi na svoj način izlazi izvorno gorštačko poštenje i pouzdanje, empatija i spremnost na samoprijegor. Vlastito mučeništvo koje prelazi u samouništenje - modernom čovjeku sasvim nepojmljivo - utjelovljeno je u ženskim likovima, dok je emocionalna sirovost i tvrdoća više svojstvena muškim likovima.
