The Croatian God Mars (Croatian: Hrvatski bog Mars), is a collection of short stories, mostly antiwar and social topics by Miroslav Krleža, 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. Translated by Željko Cipriš. New York: Monthly Review Press, 2017.
