Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with Sreten Marić (1903–1992), the reception of his work and its cultural and political implications. In accordance with Svetozar Petrović’s interpretation, the starting point are the neglected and never reprinted texts that Marić published in Zagreb and Belgrade in the period from 1936 to 1945. The texts are viewed in the context of the Yugoslav conflict on the literary left. After the analysis of their content and status, the final part of the paper offers a detailed insight into the reasons as to why Marić is read as one of the most prominent Serbian essayists of the second half of the 20th century.
