Abstract
This paper analyses Edhem Mulabdić’s novels Zeleno busenje (1898) and Nova vremena (1914), and his collection of short stories, Na obali Bosne (1900). These texts played a pivotal role in economic, educational and social progress and interculturality among Bosnians. Mulabdić’s literary works strive to bring together “heart and mind” – East and West – and to affirm intercultural understanding through collaboration with other South Slavic peoples. Mulabdić promoted the Bosnian language, universal ethical values, the idea of emancipation through education, and the re-contextualisation of Islamic teachings, and his ideas strongly influenced the wider community.
