U ovome radu nastoji se ukazati na prisustvo elemenata fantastičkoga diskursa u romanu Vladana Desnice Proljeća Ivana Galeba. Budući da je riječ o autoru koji zauzima značajno mjesto u južnoslovenskoj književnosti 20. vijeka, pokušaćemo osvijetliti manje poznate segmente Desničinih poetičkih načela s posebnim osvrtom na njegovo interesovanje za fantastiku. S obzirom na to da autor u 49. glavi Proljeća Ivana Galeba eksplicitno otkriva svoju " namjeru " da napiše fantastički roman, razmatramo sve aspekte pripovijedanja kojim je Desnica najavio novi model literaranoga stvaranja teksta koji se ogleda u " fantastizaciji proze " odnosno strukturiranju djela fantastičkoga određenja. Na kraju donosimo zaključak o tome da se Vladan Desnica svojim romanesknim ostvarenjem smatra pretečom velikana južnoslovenske književnosti, u prvome redu Borislava Pekića i Danila Kiša, a potom i drugih. Vladan Desnica – pjesnik, esejist, dramski pisac, pripovjedač, romansijer, filmski scenarist, prevodilac, urednik i polemičar, smatra se jednim od najznačajnijih pisaca srpske i hrvatske književnosti. Iako njegovo prozno djelo nije obimom veliko, Desnica je ostavio neizbrisiv trag u južnoslovenskim književnostima 20. vijeka. Govorio je da istovremeno pripada srpskoj, hrvatskoj i tadašnjoj jugoslovenskoj, mediteranskoj i evropskoj književnosti: " Ja tu ne postavljam granice, ni nacionalnih, a pogotovo regionalnih... I mislim da bi mnogi moji junaci mogli živjeti u nekoj drugoj zemlji jednako kao i kod nas " .1 Možemo slobodno reći da lik i djelo Vladana Desnice žive i u drugim zemljama baš kao i njegovi junaci. Za razliku od pisaca svoje generacije, Desnica je bio bliži autorima modernističkih tekstova, tako da se, po riječima Radomira Ivanovića, zalagao za umjetničko djelo kao " otvorenu strukturu " i prije pojave knjiga Otvoreno delo Umberta Eka i Otvoreno društvo Karla Popera.2 Svojim narativnim tekstovima ovaj autor je pomjerio granice vladajućeg modela koncipiranja književno-umjetničkih djela, tako da su kompleksnost, polifona struktura, filozofska, estetička i psihološka svojstva kojima kreira literarni univerzum, samo neka od bitnih obilježja Desničine proze. 1 1 Jovan Radulović, Predgovor knjizi Djelo nastaje dalje od pisaćeg stola, Razgovori sa Vladanom Desnicom,

FULL TEXT!! This volume publishes for the first time an untitled anti-Hasidic manuscript, which the editors have called Reshit Hokhmah (The Origin/Beginning of Wisdom), from the Joseph Perl Archive in Tarnopol. The manuscript was copied in 1819, the year that Perl’s Megale Temirin was published. It is housed today in the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. The identity of the author is unknown, but he probably came from Galicia and was associated with Mitnagdim and Maskilim. The book expresses harsh and detailed criticism of the hagiographic work, Shivhei ha-Besht (In Praise of the Baal Shem Tov, Kapost 1815), which is the first extensive engagement with this book. Moreover, the work is erudite and anticipates the views of Isaac Baer Levinson in his work Te‘udah be-Yisrael (A Warning to Israel, Vilna and Grodno 1828). The manuscript was read by many Maskilim in Galicia and it seems to have influenced both Joseph Perl and Isaac Baer Levinson. This work is therefore of great importance as an example of anti-Hasidic literature, which influenced nineteenth-century Haskalah literature. A transcription of the manuscript is presented in this volume, accompanied by explanatory notes, references to literature that influenced the author, references to anti-Hasidic literature, and an introduction that describes the character of the work and its reception.
