Gustav Krklec

Gustav Krklec (pronounced [gǔ:staʋ kr̩̂klet͡s]; 23 June 1899 – 30 October 1977[1]) was a Croatian writer and translator.

[1] Since 1922 he lived in Belgrade, working as a secretary at the stock exchange, and as an editor of Nolit.

In 1945 he returned to Zagreb, where he worked as an editor in several publishing houses and magazines.

His verses are marked by simplicity and the suggestibility of expression, by formal and metric artistry, and are characterised by the motifs of life's joy, anxiety and solitude.

His nephew Nikola Mauracher (Krklec), the son of his eldest brother Valentin, lives in Vienna, owner of "Pension Mozart" and is married to the Austrian-Russian conductor and pianist Gal Rasché.
