Summary
Eliza Gerner: In the Shadow of the Departing Century
With this autobiography, Eliza Gerner, the drama champion of the Croatian National Theater in Zagreb, completes her cycle of memoirs. Following her biography, which resembles a real interesting novel, one gets to know not only her personal fate (from her childhood in Sombor, through her studies in Zagreb and Budapest to her return to Zagreb, where she creates brilliant acting creations) and nostalgic impressions from a world that is disappearing, but also a whole gallery of people important for Croatian and European cultural life. Her husband Tito Strozzi and Miroslav Krleža are in the center of her attention.
