| Abstract | Braća Kozarac svima su poznati kao vrlo značajne osobe koje su u svoje vrijeme utjecali na život ljudi, ali njihov je utjecaj vidljiv i danas. Rođeni su u Vinkovcima, a Ivan je u Vinkovcima i umro te je njegova rodna kuća obnovljena i otvorena za posjetitelje u stilu u kojem je izgrađena prvi put. Svojim je životom Josip Kozarac utjecao na razvoj šumarstva jer je godinama radio kao šumar, a poznat je u svijetu i kao šumar- književnik. Njegov se utjecaj za razvoj šuma vidi i danas, a trudio se istraživati i dolaziti do novih spoznaja o krčenju šuma i njihovom ponovnom pošumljavanju. Njegov književni rad obuhvaća poeziju, prozu i dramu, a u svojim djelima prikazuje slavonskoga seljaka kojega poznaje u potpunosti, sve njegove mane i vrline, a on se nalazi u ulozi liječnika. U svojim se djelima osvrće ina socijalne, ekonomske i druge probleme svoga vremena, a kako je iznosio probleme, za iste je nudio i rješenja. Ivan Kozarac od iznimnoga je značaja za grad Vinkovce i Slavoniju, a odrastajući u siromašnoj obitelji naučio se boriti za bolji život. Iz svoga života i iskustva pronalazi inspiraciju za svoja književna djela, a najpoznatiji je po novelama u kojima prikazuje tadašnje probleme kao što je propadanje zadruga, lijenost, svađa, pijanstva. Svoju Slavoniju opisuje u svojim pjesmama, a upravo je zbog toga i nazvan pjesnikom Slavonije. Najpoznatija djela Josipa Kozarca jesu novela Tena i roman Mrtvi kapitali, a Ivana Kozarca jesu roman Đuka Begović. Oba su autora napisala i vlastitu autobiografiju, a njima u čast svake se godine obilježavaju Dani Josipa i Ivana Kozarca u Vinkovcima. |
