The Croatian God Mars

The Croatian God Mars (Croatian: Hrvatski bog Mars) is a collection of short stories, mostly antiwar and social topics by Miroslav Krleža, and considered by many the greatest Croatian writer of the 20th century.

[1] A short story collection that depicted the exploitation of peasants and the miserable condition of the Croatian soldier, Hrvatski bog Mars proved to be his most notable short story collection.

[2] It was first released in 1922, then again in 1933, and in its final form in 1947.

[2] English translations of the first, fourth, and fifth story are available in Harbors Rich in Ships: Selected Revolutionary Writings.
