Društveni tipovi - ogledalo mana i slabosti ljudskih

Hugo Krishaber

In this book, the author humorously and in verse deals with the different types of human character, of which he finds 143, mocking their flaws. An interesting example of an essayist's book, currently the only one on the market.

Hugo Krishaber was a publicist, poet and translator. He was born on 23 December 1872 in Lakoc, Hungary, and perished in the Jasenovac concentration camp from 1942 to 1945. He came from a Jewish family originally from Mohács, Hungary, where his father was a bookkeeper. He graduated from the Real Gymnasium in Osijek in 1890.

He was the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Osijek enigmatic-humorous Razbibrig, in which he published humorous pieces, aphorisms, riddles and short reviews. From 1937 until the abolition of the newspaper Die Drau in 1938, he was its last editor-in-chief, publishing regular editorials and comments on socio-political and cultural events, occasional articles on Osijek theatrical events, as well as poems and travelogues.

Two of his books on economic topics were published in Zagreb (1908 and 1909), and in the illustrated collection of poems From Foreign Fields (1929) he published his own translations of poetry by Pötefi, Goethe, Heine, Schiller, Leopardi, Petrarca and Chenier. He also published his own book On the Paths of Life: Poems, Inventions, Observations in 1934. Social Characters was his last published book.
