Abstract
In Miroslav Krleža’s manuscript collection preserved at the National and University Library in Zagreb, there is an unpublished travel diary entitled A Journey to Liburnia (1948). The article interprets Krleža's manuscript, which, apart from being a contribution to the research of the writer's "alternative" bibliography, provides new biographical insights into his travels along the eastern Adriatic in the post-war years. Through a comparative analysis of the content and genre features of the text, as well as private correspondence, the essay attempts to describe Krleža's journey, the horizon of cultural-historical interests of the diarist-traveler, and the process of creation and intertextual use of the unpublished manuscript. A selection of fragments from A Journey to Liburnia is included in the appendix.
