Čudo u Poskokovoj Dragi

Sedam kilometara uzbrdo od Smiljeva u krškoj nigdini kao u kakvoj hajdučkoj republici koja priznaje jedino vlastite zakone živi udovac Jozo Poskok s četvoricom zamomčenih sinova. Do njihove ogrubjele zajednice s upitnim higijenskim prehrambenim i sociološkim navikama ne dopire ni Država sa svojim zakonima ni civilizacija u osnovnim natruhama – sve dok najstariji sin Krešimir ne dođe na avangardnu ideju: pronaći sebi ženu i dovesti je u njihovu alfamužjačku utvrdu kojoj fali samo – ženska ruka. No potraga za ženskim čeljadetom pokazala se izazovnijom i opasnijom od Poskocima uobičajenih obračuna s inkasatorima koji im bezobrazno žele naplatiti potrošenu struju i druge civilizacijske namete. Ljubavni zadatak najstarijeg Poskokovog potomka nit ovog romana odmotava u smjeru urnebesne komedije s karakterom napetog trilera i romana ceste s nizom iznenadnih obrata u kojima ima i policijskih potjera i prerušavanja i eksplozija i privođenja i odbjeglih nevjesta i razjarenih mužjaka vrele krvi a sve zato da bi se u Poskokovoj Dragi dogodilo čudo – i to ne jedno jedino. Priča je to kakvu je mogao smisliti i napisati samo Ante Tomić: tvorac Muškarca bez brkova otkriva nam neodoljiv svijet muškaraca bez brakova.Seven kilometers from Smiljevo up the hill in small mountainous village lives Jozo Poskok with his four sons. Their little community with questionable hygienic nutritional and sociological habits does not admit the State or the basic hints of civilization – until Jozo’s oldest son Krešimir comes to an avant-garde idea: to find himself a women and to bring her to their alfa-men fortress.Soon it becomes clear that the search for the appropriate women is even more difficult challenging and dangerous than their usual fights against bill collectors that rudely want to charge them for using electricity and other civilizational imposts.Love task of Poskok’s oldest son leads this novel in the direction of hilarious comedy with the character of suspense thriller and road novel with a series of sudden reversals filled with police chase disguise explosions runaway brides and angry hod-blooded men all in order to make the miracle in Poskokova Draga happen.Only Ante Tomić could think of and write story like this – the creator of men without mustache reveals the overwhelming world of men without marriage.
