Lovran u Krleži
Lovran in Krleža

Summary/Abstract: Although it might seem as such at the first glance, Lovran was not an unimportant station for Krleža. That place was his important turning point before the journey to Galicia and new literary work. He spent time recovering in Lovran in 1916, during the World War I, thinking about life and death and, probably, about his creative work (he received cyanide for a battlefield and soon he burnt his manuscripts). He wrote about Lovran in discursive literary texts (Olden Days, Diary 1943, and Journey to Istria). This place is also mentioned in his well-known literary works (Three Guardsmen, The Return of Philip Latinowicz and Banners), not as main motive, but as one that is important to understand the characters. Lovran, just like the entire area of Kvarner, is worth exploring in the context of Krleža’s life and work. It seems like Lovran is offering a valuable insight about Krleža and some of his works.
