4. Apocalypse and Golgotha in Miroslav Krleža’s Olden Days: Memoirs and Diaries 1914–1921/1922. U: Shapes of Apocalypse. Arts and Philosophy in Slavic Thought

Miroslav Krleža’s Olden Days (Davni dani) – artistic memoirs and diaries relating to the period from 1914 to 1921/1922 – is considered in Croatian literature to be the only diary of a literary nature from the entire dystopian period of the First World War. It thus covers the “carcinogenic” period of 1914–1921/1922, “when the angel of death hovered over all this muddy landscape, ” when everyone rattled on about “sharpened knives, as if they were something completely normal” (DD, 262). Krleža began writing his diary – “a play with a thousand characters” – at the age of 21, precisely in the apocalyptic year that the First World War began.
