Miroslav Krleža
Miroslav Krleža (July 7, 1893 – December 29, 1981) was one of the most important Croatian writers of the 20th century – a poet, novelist, playwright, essayist and encyclopedist. He was born in Zagreb, educated at the Austro-Hungarian Military Academy, but quickly devoted himself to literature and intellectual activity. He was a strong critic of social injustice, petty bourgeoisie and political opportunism, which characterized much of his literature.
His work covers a wide range of genres. The most notable are the novel series about the Glembays (Gospoda Glembayev, U agoniji, Leda), and the epic novel The Return of Filip Latinovicz (1932). He also wrote essays, diaries, criticism, encyclopedic articles and poems such as those from the collection Pan.
Krleža's style is characterized by a rich vocabulary, complex sentences, intellectual depth and ironic distancing. He was a key figure in Croatian culture and one of the founders of the Lexicographic Institute (today LZ Miroslav Krleža). Despite political pressures, he remained faithful to intellectual autonomy.
Krleža's legacy is indispensable in the Croatian canon and indispensable in understanding modernity and the historical destiny of Croatia and Central Europe.

Balade Petrice Kerempuha
Najveće pjesničko ostvarenje Miroslava Krleže i jedno od najvažnijih djela hrvatske književnosti. Balade spajaju satiru, ironiju i lirsko-folklorne tonove u osudi nasilja i gluposti vlasti kroz stoljeća.
Balade Petrice Keremuha
Treće izdanje Balada Petrice Kerempuha, objavljeno 1950. u nakladi Državnog izdavačkog poduzeća Zora. Zanimljivo je da su oprema i crteži Krste Hegedušića kao u izdanju iz 1946., no format je isti kao i kod prvog izdanja objavljenog u Ljubljani 1936.
Banket u blitvi: Roman u tri knjige
Radnja je smještena u Blitvu, fiktivnu zemlju na sjeveroistoku Europe, koja je nakon stoljeća tuđinske vlasti i političke nestabilnosti postala samostalna država pod diktatorskom vlašću okrutnog poručnika Barutanskog.
