Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the shaping of the (Central) European worldview in the essay collections Sablast kruži by Ervin Sinkó and Srednja Evropa – Mit ili stvarnost i drugi eseji by Milo Dor, understood as a response to the simultaneous influence of the legacy of a (post)imperial past, the internationalist ideology of the communist movement, and a humanist orientation. These elements constitute essential biographical markers and foundations of political and social reflection for both authors, albeit with clear differences in how each of these features is positioned within their respective poetics. The aim of the paper is to examine how the overlap of the personal and the political manifests in the legacy of European humanism, within Šinko’s and Dor’s generationally marked experiences of exile and emigration.
