Miroslav Krleza – The Return of Philip Latinowicz

Translation of: Povratak Filipa Latinovicza. Of Krleza's many writings -- poems, plays, short stories and novels - The Return of Philip Latinowicz is the most widely acclaimed. The novel deals with the rottenness at the heart of bourgeois life, its dishonesty and its poverty of spirit. At the same time, Krleza explores the tensions pulling on an artist caught in two worlds and facing existentialist doubts.
