520 _a"Lääkärin tunnustus" by Milka Pogačić is a novel written in the early 20th century. Through a doctor's intimate confession to his son, it probes how a once-idyllic marriage is corroded by jealousy, secrecy, and moral doubt. The central figures are the physician narrator, his luminous wife Irene, their son Mladen, and a young officer, Albert, whose accident binds him to the family and becomes a catalyst for suspicion. The opening of the book unfolds as dated diary entries: in 1910, shortly after Irene’s burial, the doctor wrestles with whether to tell his grieving son the truth behind her decline and finally decides to set his old notes in order. His encounters with Julia (the son’s gentle friend) and the lawyer Vuscic stir fresh tension in the household, prompting the father to begin his confession. The narrative then rewinds to 1893, recalling a serene home life and a rigorous medical practice disrupted when Albert is gravely injured and nursed in the doctor’s annex; Irene’s devoted care and the doctor’s pride give way to small, needling moments that ignite his jealousy. As diphtheria rages in town, tempers fray at home, culminating in a harsh outburst toward Mladen, and a lurid local murder case sharpens a moral rift between husband and wife—signs that the family’s happiness is beginning to unravel.
