Léda - Egy farsangi éj komédiája

The setting is Croatia and the time is the first third of the 20th century. The characters in this carnival "comedy" are drawn from the upper echelons of Croatian society. Krleza's characters talk of love, morality and art, but their appreciation of each other, their sense of true love, is as alien to them as true art: their approach to life and art are both false.
