Hard life and humorous
He started writing humorous stories - to leave traces of smiles in the world...
Sudeta's creativity was significantly marked by the discomforts he went through while living the life of a sick man.
In his short life, Sudeten writes works that are imbued with the feeling of saying goodbye to everything he loves and is attached to. The writer therefore touches on the farewell to the landscape, birds and sunsets, the girl and earthly details.
Đuro wrote about three hundred poems and published two collections "Osamlenjemi stazaz" and "Kućice u dolo" in Zagreb in 1926. His works "Sunset" in Zagreb in 1929 and "Poems I", "Poems II" were published posthumously in 1943. .
Even though he was getting weaker and sicker, Đuro did not give up his writing until his last days. As the disease itself begins to progress, Sudeta's creative tone changes. He now writes humorous stories - to leave a smile in the world.
Witty and witty, Đuro writes articles in the humorous newspaper "Čuča" in which he sharply exposes the adventures of provincial people and situations.
Sudeten's humoresques (like "His Majesty "I") were actually a kind of emergence from the dark forces of one's own life, moments of awakening and attending to a social world that is not defiled by disease and is healthy and funny in its essence.
At the very end of his strength, Sudeta writes the never-completed humorous title "Koprivnica za 1000 godina" ("The Story of a Strange Dream") where the main character wakes up in Koprivnica in 2924. year, a thousand years from the moment when the humor was created in a completely new environment and Sudeta writes:
"Not even a minute passed and the food was already on the table. I looked away and wondered. The foreigner put a pill in a glass of water, mixed it with ten drops of coffee, and that, as we, the old Koprivnica people would say, "gemišt", started sipping it fluently, nibbling his piece of bread bit by bit. The stranger noticed that I didn't have the courage to do the same. I finally gave in to his persuasion and started doing what he did. And behold miracles! As soon as I drank more of that liquid, my stomach felt calmer and more satisfied, just as if I had eaten Pavlović's or Rogina's ham."
In his humorous stories, Đuro Sudeta becomes something else - or exactly himself - unrestrained by the pain and misfortunes that life sometimes brings us.
