Putopisi i studije 3: Historijske teme
The collection includes essays, studies, and critical texts dedicated to historical topics, and represents a valuable source for understanding Krleža's view of history as a dynamic process that shapes the identity and destiny of people.
As a key figure in Croatian literature and an intellectual of the 20th century, Krleža demonstrates encyclopedic knowledge, analytical acuity, and polemical spirit in these works, reflecting on historical events and their implications for the Croatian and European context.
The texts deal with a variety of topics, from medieval Croatian history, through the Renaissance and Reformation, to modern political and social movements. Krleža critically examines national myths, especially those related to Croatian history, exposing the ideological constructs that shape collective consciousness. He pays special attention to the role of the individual in history, the conflicts between progressive and reactionary forces, and the impact of great historical upheavals on culture and art.
His essays are often imbued with Marxist perspectives, but always retain independence and skepticism towards dogmas. Krleža's style is characterized by linguistic richness, irony, and philosophical depth, making these texts not only historical, but also literary masterpieces.
