*The book has a dedication from the previous owners.
"Vražji otok" is a collection of short stories by Miroslav Krleža, one of the most important authors of Croatian and Yugoslav literature of the 20th century. In these short stories, Krleža shows the social reality, moral decadence and psychological anxiety of individuals in the vortex of historical and ideological turmoil.
The collection exudes expressionism, irony and deep social analysis - the author is not afraid to confront the reader with discomfort, fear and the absurdity of human existence. The title novella symbolically indicates the feeling of imprisonment in one's own society and world.
