Krleža Miroslav

Summary

Miroslav Krleža: Banquet in Blitva

Okay, brothers, are we really rabid dogs, and how far will we go to tear our own flesh, and why?

"Banquet in Blitva" is both a political thriller and a novel of ideas. The action is set in northeastern Europe after the First World War, in the fictional neighboring countries of Blitva and Blatvia, in a geopolitical space of pronounced tension and turbulent public life, in the field of young, independent states that are under the burden of repressive authorities and a corrupt social system.

"This novel by Krleža can certainly be understood, as already suggested in the criticism, as a parable about the rise of fascist tendencies in Europe during the thirties of the last century. Clearly is, however, that the meanings of this work go beyond epochal contextualization, first of all thanks to the winding, often abysmal contemplations - primarily of the protagonist and the central antagonist - and therefore one can speak of problematic views on the phenomena of politics, freedom and power, views that can be renewed even in current times."

Goran Korunović (editor of the edition)
