Überlegungen zu M. Krležas Bezügen zur ungarischen Literatur
Reflections on M. Krleža's references to Hungarian literature

Summary/Abstract: This paper is about the many-layered and continuous relations between Miroslav Krleža and Hungarian literature. Research has already discovered the role of Endre Ady’s poetry in the forming poetics of the Croatian author. This time we reflect upon the relationship between Krleža and another artist of modern Hungarian literature, Dezső Kosztolányi. Krleža visited Kosztolányi during the opening years of the First World War. The visit was recollected in some of his later diary remarks and in a character of the novel The Banquet in Blitva, whose name is Deziderije Kronberg. The paper reconstructs the details of this inspiring encounter.
