Glembay'', 1929), short stories ('' Croatian God Mars'', 1922), novels (''The Return of Philip Latinowicz'', 1932; '' On the Edge of Reason'', 1938), and an intimate diary. His works often include themes of bourgeois hypocrisy and conformism in Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Krleža wrote numerous essays on problems of art, history, politics, literature, philosophy, and military strategy, and was known as one of the great polemicists of the century. His style combines visionary poetic language and sarcasm. Krleža dominated the cultural life of Croatia and Yugoslavia for half a century.

Messrs
''Mister'', usually written in its contracted form ''Mr.'' or ''Mr'', is a commonly used English honorific for men without a higher honorific, or professional title, or any of various designations of office. The title 'Mr' derived from earlier forms of ''master'', as the equivalent female titles ''Mrs'', ''Miss'', and '' Ms'' all derived from earlier forms of ''mistress''. ''Master'' is sometimes still used as an honorific for boys and young men. The modern plural form is ''Misters'', although its usual formal abbreviation ''Messrs''(.) derives from use of the French title ' in the 18th century. ' is the plural of ' (originally ', "my lord"), formed by declining both of its constituent parts separately. Historical etiquette Historically, ''mister'' was applied only to those above one's own status if they had no higher title such as ''Sir'' or ''my lord'' in the English class system. That understanding is now obsolete, as it was gradually expanded as a mark of respect to those ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ballads Of Petrica Kerempuh
''The Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh'' ( hr, Balade Petrice Kerempuha) is a philosophically poetic work by the Croatian writer Miroslav Krleža, composed in the form of thirty poems between December 1935 and March 1936. The work spans a period of five centuries, focusing around the commoner prophet Petrica Kerempuh, who is a type of Croatian Till Eulenspiegel. It is written in a language based on the Kajkavian dialect. Krleža's use of language is heavily interspersed with archaic words of Latin, German, and Hungarian origin as Kajkavian has many Latin, German, and Hungarian loanwords when compared to standard Croatian, which has many more loanwords from Turkish. This difference is evident in the work comes from the two languages belonging to two distinct cultural circles: the former to central Europe and the latter to the historically Ottoman-controlled Balkans. Krleža did not typically write in Kajkavian, but decided to put the dialect into focus for the ballads. Literary ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Croatian Literature
Croatian literature refers to literary works attributed to the medieval and modern culture of the Croats, Croatia, and Croatian. Besides the modern language whose shape and orthography was standardized in the late 19th century, it also covers the oldest works produced within the modern borders of Croatia, written in Church Slavonic and Medieval Latin, as well as vernacular works written in Čakavian and Kajkavian dialects. History Croatian medieval literature Croatian medieval prose is similar to other European medieval literature of the time. The oldest testaments to Croatian literacy are dated to the 11th and 12th centuries, and Croatian medieval literature lasts until the middle of the 16th century. Some elements of medieval forms can be found even in 18th century Croatian literature, which means that their influence had been stronger in Croatia than in the rest of Europe. Early Croatian literature was inscribed on stone tablets, hand-written on manuscripts, and printed in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
