The Return of Philip Latinowicz 
Jedna od meni najgorih, ako ne i najgora, srednjoškolska lektira.
I'm seriously becoming tired of these books about pseudo-intellectuals and artists who are oh-so-smart and don't fit in anywhere; are constantly sad and depressed about everything, and eventually fall for a woman who is pretty much a whore. If I had wanted to induce a depression, I'd have probably read this or just have re-read Proust, because nothing depresses me more than empty philosophy and endless descriptions and digressions from the plot, which doesn't really exist, either.Krleža, you

Užas. Puno nabacanih, besmislenih rečenica pisanih kvaziintelektualnim stilom. Praktički nema radnje, likovi su jednodimenzionalni, dosadni i do zla boga pričljivi, no svi zajedno ne mogu sročiti jednu inteligentnu rečenicu.
A curious but classic book, which I've read twice. An artist returns home after 20 years abroad, to face up to the personal demons that send him into exile in the first place. It's a trip into the stifling and stuffy world of provincial Habsburg aristocracy, their endless intrigues, backbiting, and attempts to move up the foodchain and avoid the fate worse than death - having to work for a living. How such a society is ultimately doomed to self-destruction, and how hard it is for anyone born
Svitalo je, kada je Filip stigao na kaptolski kolodvor. Dvadeset i tri godine nije ga zapravo bilo u ovom zakutku...Priča o povratku... povratku kući, u panonsko blato i gnjilu stvarnost tog podneblja, povratku detinjstvu i korenima, povratku majci i sebi...Godine između, ostaće za nas, čitaoce, kao progutane, u skoro potpunom mraku, tek nagoveštene...Filip Latinović, slikar, sada već u četrdesetim godinama, vraća se u svoj rodni kraj. Rastrzan, mučen pitanjima, u jeku krize sopstvenog
I'm never, ever, ever reading this again.

Explanation In Favor Of Books The Return of Philip Latinowicz
Philip Latinowics is a successful but disillusioned painter who returns to his hometown on Croatia's Danubian plain after an absence of twenty-three years. He hopes that revisiting his cultural roots will inspire him to create the perfect work of art and thereby restore his faith in both art and life. Haunted by his troubled childhood, however, he falls in with shady characters and discovers the emotional, intellectual, and imaginative poverty of his background.Specify Containing Books The Return of Philip Latinowicz

The book started off well. I thought I might like it, but at one point it just became a drag. I do like descriptions, but Krleza just goes too far with it in this book. The whole story seemed like it was written by someone who needs to deal with personal issues (I guess that was the point, but somehow for me in this case, it didn't work). The only picture I am left with after reading this work is mold...So... the book was just OK for me.Jedna od meni najgorih, ako ne i najgora, srednjoškolska lektira.
