Summary/Abstract: Gender stereotypes present a conventionally simplified and standardized conception or image concerning the typical social roles of males and females. M. Crnjanski focuses on the problem of the various stereotypes of men. The writer shows his characters in areas that are stereotypically considered to be appropriate for men, such as professional work, politics, war, and sexual relations. The book contained stereotypes that the readers of the original version and the readers of the translations perceive differently, because Polish and Serbian readers have different historical and cultural experiences.
