  ZAGREB: A CULTURAL AND LITERARY HISTORY
  by Celia Hawkesworth
  Foreword by Sonia Wild Bi?ani?

  Situated at the foot of a range of hills on the edge of the great Pannonian Plain, for most of its history Zagreb has been a small town to which things happened. Administered from 1102 by Hungary and later absorbed into the Habsburg Monarchy, Zagreb was under threat from the advancing Ottomans until the late sixteenth century. In 1918 the Croatian lands joined their immediate South Slav neighbours in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later renamed Yugoslavia. Following Yugoslavia?s violent collapse, in 1991 Zagreb became the capital city of the new independent Croatia.
