Miroslav Krle a ((July 7, 1893 - December 29, 1981) was a leading Croat and Yugoslav writer and the dominant figure in cultural life of both Yugoslav states, the Kingdom (1918-1941) and the Republic (1945 until his death in 1981). He has often been proclaimed the greatest Croatian writer of the 20th century. Miroslav Krle a was born in Zagreb, modern-day Croatia. He entered a preparatory military school in P cs, modern-day Hungary. At that time, P cs and Zagreb were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Subsequently, he attended the Ludoviceum military academy at Budapest. He defected for Serbia in 1912 as a volunteer for the Serbian army, but was dismissed as a suspected spy. Upon his return to Croatia, he was demoted in the Austro-Hungarian army and sent as a common soldier to the Eastern front in the World War I. In the post-WWI period Krle a established himself both as a major Modernist writer and politically controversial figure in Yugoslavia, a newly created country which encompassed South Slavic lands of former Habsburg Empire and the kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro.
