In a body of work that spans more than five dozen books, including novels, short stories, plays, poetry, and essays, Krleza steadfastly pursued a radical humanism and artistic integrity. Harbors Rich in Ships gives English-speaking readers an unprecedented opportunity to appreciate the astonishing breadth of Krleza's literary creations. Beautifully translated by Zeljko Cipris, this collection of seven representative early texts introduces a new audience to three stories from Krleza's renowned antimilitarist book, The Croatian God Mars; an autobiographical sketch; a one-act play; a story from his collection of short stories; One Thousand and One Deaths; and his signature drama, The Glembays, a satirical account of the crime-ridden origins of one of Zageb's most aristocratic families.âBorn in 1893 Zagreb, then a city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Miroslav Krleza died in 1981 Zagreb, after it had become part of Croatia, a republic in socialist Yugoslavia. He was educated in military academies that served the Hapsburg monarchy, however, after fighting on the Eastern Front during the First World War, he was sickened by the War's lethal nationalism and became a fervent anti-militarist. Krleza joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in 1918, but his opposition to Stalin's artistic dictum of social realism, as well as his refusal to support Stalin's purges, led to his expulsion from the Party in 1939. He nevertheless helped found several literary and political journals, and became a driving force in Yugoslavia's literature.âThis collection will help readers of all interests and ages see just why Krleza is considered among the best of the literary moderns. 546 $a In English; translated from the original Croatian. 600 10 $a Krleza, Miroslav, $d 1893-1981. 651 0 $a Croatia $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Revolutionary literature. 700 1 $a Cipris, Zeljko, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Krleza, Miroslav, 1893-1981. $t Harbors rich in ships. $d New York : Monthly Review Press, 2017 $z 9781583676509 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003031952.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A852B52621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
