Abstract

Švedska literatura poznata je po krimićima, točnije tzv. soc-krimićima. Švedski krimići razvili su se tijekom prošlog stoljeća, te evoluirali iz traženja uzora iz drugih književnosti do vlastitog žanra koji je poznat i voljen u cijelom svijetu. Tijekom 50-ih godina dolazi do razvoja soc-krimića, žanra koji su pokrenuli autori Sjöwall i Wahlöö kako bi razotkrili ono što su smatrali fašističkom stranom folkhemmeta. Po njihovom uzoru nastavljaju pisati i brojni današnji autori, kao što su to bili i poznati dvojac Roslund i Hellström, što se posebno vidi u njihovim romanima Zvijer, Pretinac 21 i Tri sekunde. U svojim romanima bave se temama poput trgovine ljudima, raspadom države blagostanja i sistemske korupcije nadilazeći puku zabavu. Rad Roslunda i Hellströma odražava transformaciju švedske države blagostanja i uključuje čitatelje u kritičko ispitivanje suvremenih društvenih pitanja. Njihovi romani istovremeno služe kao književna ostvarenja i važni društveni dokumenti, nudeći uvid u dinamiku razvoja švedskog društva.

Abstract (english)

Swedish literature is known for its crime fiction, specifically the so-called welfare crime fiction. Swedish crime novels have developed over the past century, and evolved from looking for models from other literatures to their own genre that is known and loved all over the world. During the 1950s, there was a development of welfare crime fiction, a genre initiated by the authors Sjöwall and Wahlöö to expose what they saw as the fascist side of folkhemmet. Numerous authors today continue to write according to their example, such as the famous duo Roslund and Hellström, which is especially evident in their novels The Beast, Box 21 and Three Seconds. In their novels, they deal with topics such as human trafficking, the collapse of the welfare state and systemic corruption, going beyond mere entertainment. Roslund and Hellström's work reflects the transformation of the Swedish welfare state and engages readers in a critical examination of contemporary social issues. Their novels simultaneously serve as literary works and important social documents, offering insight into the dynamics of the development of Swedish society.
