| Popis: | Dosadašnje spoznaje o nepoznatom požeškom razdoblju života i djelovanja Dragutina Lermana do sada su se bazirale isključivo na šturim povijesnim podacima te predgovoru Kreševskih dnevnika „Čovjek koji je vjerovao u svoju sreću“ Zlate Kolarić Kišur. Pažljivijim iščitavanjem dosad nepoznate građe pronađene u jednoj obiteljskoj arhivi (Lermanovi dnevnici, pisma…), Lermanovih tiskanih dnevnika – Afričkog i Kreševskih, građe koja se čuva u požeškom Muzeju, članaka iz lokalne i nacionalne periodike početkom stoljeća te objavljenih istraživanja Mire Kolar dobili smo puno jasniju sliku o Lermanovim požeškim poslovnim nastojanjima, kao i o obiteljskom životu. U radu se pojašnjavaju Lermanovi motivi napuštanja uspješne karijere generalnog povjerenika pokrajine Istočni Kwango u Africi te povratka u Požegu. Jednako tako nastoji se razjasniti lokalna i nacionalna politička i društvena pozadina uspjeha, ali i potpun slom Lermanovih poslovnih pothvata u Požegi te činjenica da je od uspješnog poslovnog čovjeka jedini ostao bez ičega, prognanik iz grada čijem je napretku posvetio velik dio svoga života. Rad je i poticaj za istraživanje novih izvora koji posebno osvjetljavaju godine Lermanova izgnanstva u Europu o kojima ništa ne znamo te truda da pronađe investitore za propala požeška ulaganja. The so far acquired knowledge about Dragutin Lerman’s unknown period of life and activity rests exclusively on scarce historical data, and the foreword to Lerman’s Kreševo Diaries, written by Zlata Kolarić Kišur, entitled The Man Who Believed his Good Fortune. Thanks to a more careful reading of the so far unknown material recently found in a family archive (Lerman’s diaries, letters, etc.); his published diaries – The African Diary and The Kreševo Diaries; the material in custody of the Požega Museum; articles published in the local and national newspapers at the beginning of the 20th century; and the published research by Mira Kolar, we have managed to gain a much clearer picture of Lerman’s business efforts and his family life in Požega. The paper explains Lerman’s motives for leaving a successful career as the East Kwango General Commissioner in Africa and returning to Požega. The paper further attempts to clarify the local and national political and social background not only of his success, but also of the complete collapse of his Business ventures in Požega. It moreover endeavours to shed more light on the fact that Lerman, once a successful business man, suddenly became ruined and outcast from the town to the prosperity of which he had dedicated a major part of his life. The paper may furthermore initiate research of new sources, which could particularly illuminate and offer insight into the still rather obscure years Lerman spent in exile in Europe, and his strivings to find investors for the failing investments in Požega. |
