August Cesarec

The collection brings together a selection of the author's short prose, reflecting his social engagement and expressionist style. In these works, Cesarec explores the fates of ordinary people, social injustices, and the inner struggles of the individual i

The collection includes stories such as “The Emperor’s Swede”, “Tonka Švejk” and “The Escape”, which depict poverty, alienation and moral dilemmas. In “The Emperor’s Swede”, Cesarec describes the life of a peasant in conflict with bureaucracy and war traumas, while “Tonka Švejk” follows the fate of a young girl faced with social hypocrisy. “The Escape” thematizes an attempt to escape from an oppressive reality, with an emphasis on the psychological depth of the characters. Cesarec uses strong, often lyrical language, imbued with symbolism and emotional intensity, thereby emphasizing the tragedy of his protagonists.

The stories reflect the author’s critique of capitalism, class differences and war, with an emphasis on solidarity and humanity. Cesarec’s characters, often marginalized, struggle with internal and external conflicts, searching for meaning in a world of injustice. The collection is notable for its social sensitivity and literary innovation, solidifying Cesarec’s status in Croatian literature.
