Izabrane pjesme

Povratak Filipa Latinovicza

The Return of Filip Latinovicz is one of Miroslav Krleža's most famous novels. This novel is significant in our literature because it is considered the first fully modern Croatian novel.

Hrvatski bog Mars

The Croatian god Mars brings seven anti-war novels in which Krleža portrays war as a cruel, senseless machinery that destroys the "little man", exposing the hypocrisy of militarism and myths about heroism.

Čočara

Widow Cesira and her daughter Rosetta flee bombed Rome to their native Ciociaria, where they experience hunger, fear and misery. Liberation brings tragedy: Rosetta is raped by Moroccan soldiers, destroying their faith in God and people.

Pokondirena tikva

In the comedy Pokondirena tikva, the main character Fema, an ordinary citizen obsessed with the upper class, comically tries to play the role of a lady. The play mocks snobbery, hypocrisy, and the desire for someone else's appearance and manners.

Tirena

Pastoral drama (comedy) in five acts, written in double-rhymed twelve-line stanzas (with eight-line stanzas in the lyrical parts), the oldest preserved play by Držić (premiered in 1548 in Dubrovnik, printed in 1551 in Venice).
