The National Széchenyi Library welcomes the oeuvre of the most dominant Croatian writer in the 20th century, Miroslav Krleža (1893-1981), on occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death. The exhibition open during the Budapest Spring Festival is to deal with the segments in the writings of Miroslav Krleža somewhat related to Hungary and also the reception of his writings in Hungary.

Krleža went to Cadet School in Pécs, then to the Ludovika Academy. He experienced catharsis when he first read poems by Ady and Petőfi. His findings about various Hungarian literary works and cultural issues are to be reviewed at the exhibition presented by the Hungarian National Széchenyi Library. The high definition images of the manuscript of the poem by Vörösmarty, the The Old Gypsy Krleža highly esteemed, a postcards collection about the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and also 20-30 posters are on display.

The exhibition does not follow linear order; instead it chose to find intersections to represent major themes by the great Croatian classic writer, paying special attention to the Glembay Trilogy. The exhibition also reviews the reception of Oszkár Jászi, a note he wrote in 1922, also notes by László Németh, Gyula Illyés, György Spiró, Ferenc Juhász and many others, Among them some about the chess party between Márió Tito Papp and Krleža.

Posters, photos, costumes, books signed by Krleža and various other items of interest, as well as footages, newsreels and TV films review the life and work of the classic Croatian artist, Krleža.
