Reviews
"Krlezais a shrewd observer of man as social animal, and his wry, sardonic style fits cleanly into the Eastern European tradition of bureaucratic satire by the likes of Kafka, Karel Capek and Jaroslav Hasek " - -Publishers Weekly on On the Edge of Reason, "[T]his is a book that includes everything that's good about travel writing: descriptive power, deftly drawn portraits of local people, and the screeching wheels of a speeding train . . . [I]t remains a vital piece of history, shedding light on a rarely written-about period of turbulent promise." --Jonathan Bousfield, writer for the Rough Guides, Time Out Croatia, and Jutarnji list, "The Croatian Miroslav Krleza is among the most neglected of the world's writers." -- Antioch Review, "A great Croatian writer is seen at his most animated and unsparing in a venomous satire . . . on political aggrandizement and xenophobia. . . . Much worth reading as an introduction to an unjustly neglected European master." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Banquet in Blitva, "Miroslav Krleza's 1926 travelogue Journey to Russia in Will Firth's excellent translation comes as a welcome and exciting surprise... [T]his towering figure still remains relatively unknown outside of Croatia's literary culture and largely excluded from the international canons of high modernism... [T]he promise of Will Firth's careful translation is that this modernist gem will finally become more visible and legible outside of Croatia's borders." -- Journal of Croatian Studies, "Miroslav Krleza's Journey to Russia is a book that ought to be some kind of immortal classic." --Nell Zink, Author of Doxology and The Wallcreeper, "Krlezais a shrewd observer of man as social animal, and his wry, sardonic style fits cleanly into the Eastern European tradition of bureaucratic satire by the likes of Kafka, Karel Capek and Jaroslav Hasek " -- Publishers Weekly on On the Edge of Reason, "Will Firth's translation of Journey to Russia is a significant achievement not only because Krleza has been insufficiently translated into English, despite being the most important twentieth-century Croatian writer, but also because it is the first opportunity for readers to encounter Krleza as an essayist. He was a prolific literary critic and commentator, and Firth's translation of Journey to Russia provides a sense of the author's inseparable poetic and political concerns." --From Dragana Obradovic's Introduction

Synopsis
When Miroslav Krleza traveled through Russia for six months between the end of 1924 and the beginning of 1925, the celebrated Croatian writer was there to figure out what it all meant. The sprawling country was still coming to terms with the events of the 1917 revolution and reeling from Lenin's death in January 1924. During this period of profound political and social transition, Krleza opened his senses to train stations, cities, and villages and collected wildly different Russian perspectives on their collective moment in history. Krleza's impressionistic reportage of mass demonstrations and jubilant Orthodox Easter celebrations is informed by his preoccupation with the political, social, and psychological complexities of his environment. The result is a masterfully crafted modernist travelogue that resonates today as much as it did when first published in 1926., When Miroslav Krleza traveled through Russia for six months between the end of 1924 and the beginning of 1925, the celebrated Croatian writer was there to figure out what it all meant.

- v***v (2053)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
