The latest issue of Matica magazine looks ahead at upcoming CHF summer programmes and focuses on the history, nature and prominent figures of Brač, the sunniest island off the seaboard of our southern region of Dalmatia.
The May issue of our monthly Matica magazine is dedicated to the history, nature and prominent figures of Brač, the sunniest island off the seaboard of our southern region of Dalmatia. This month also saw the Book Night event staged at the CHF and the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. We also look at some of the lives of people who moved from Croatia to South America.
This issue also looks ahead at our traditional CHF summer programmes, Croatian films that will be screened at international festivals, and translations of Croatian literature into foreign languages.
