Religious world of Miroslav Krleža

Religiozni je svijet u Krležinim književnim djelima veoma složen i slojevit. Iako prevladavaju auktorovi ateistički pristupi i shvaćanja, ima različitih opcija i likova, religioznih i areligioznih. Cjelovita studija o tome opširno raspravlja. Ovdje objavljujemo uvodni dio koji nas s jedne strane upoznaje s bitnim obilježjima Krležina literarnog stvaralaštva, s druge s ranim religioznim iskustvima mladog Krleže, točnije, s njegovim književnim zapisom iz kasnijih godina (1942.) o svom dječačkom životu (životu ministranta) i ateističkom preobražaju u prvim gimnazijskim razredima. Kao predstavnik više generacija, Krleža je bio vrlo dinamičan, književno i idejno. Sabrana mu djela obuhvaćaju 60-tak svezaka. Ima u njima svih književnih rodova i vrsta, mnogih trajne vrijednosti. Puna su različitih priča i sudbina, povijesnih nemira i filozofskih razdjelnica ljudi i svijetova. Pogledi su mu redovito kritični i pesimistični; zlo je u njegovoj filozofiji moćnije od dobra. Zbog toga radije govori o nedokučivoj sudbini zla i povijesnoj bijedi građanskog društva nego o otkupiteljskoj snazi bitka i konačnoj pobjedi dobra. Prema osobnom priznanju na ateizam ga je u mladim godinama privukla sklonost prema etičkoj slobodi, prema Izabelli, i Darwinova teorija daje čovjek srodnik majmuna.The religious world in Krleža\u27s literary works is very complex and multi-layered. Although the author\u27s atheistic approaches and opinions are prevalent, there are also various options and characters, religious and irreligious, which is extensively discussed in the complete study. Here we publish the introductory part, which, on the one hand, looks into the essential characteristics of Krleža\u27s literary output, and, on the other hand, into the earliest religious experiences of young Krleža, or more accurately, his literary record from later years (1942), about his boyhood (the life of a server at the altar) and his atheistic transformation in the first grammar - school classes. As a representative of several generations, Krleža was very dynamic, literary and ideologically. His complete works include about 60 volumes. There are ali literary genres and kinds in them, many of them of lasting value. They are full of various stories and destinies, historical unrests and philosophical divides of people and worlds. His views are always critical and pessimistic; in his philosophy evil is more powerful than the good. Therefore, he rather speaks about the imponderable destiny of evil and historical misery of middle - class society than about the redeeming power of Being in the final victory of the good. According to his own admission, he was attracted to atheism in his young ages because of his inclination toward ethical freedom, toward Isabella, as well as because of Danvin\u27s theory that man was relative to the monkey
