This work gives us an insight into the damages and people's sufferings caused by war. Antun Šoljan, a Post-World War II writer offers a new approach to literature. He refused to obey any ideology which made him persona non grata with the official regime. He was a representative of the generation gathered around the magazine „Krugovi“ (called „Krugovaši“) and also often connected with the writers joined at Mrs. Gertrude Stein's salon known also as the „Lost generation“ authors. In his first novel „Izdajice“(1961.) he speaks about the disillusioned generation confronted with the disapproval of the society. This group of young people look for the place under the Sun unable to accept the established values. Accepting the obligation or responsibility of any kind means the denial of the group's principles. In his novel „The Sun Also Rises“(1926.), E. Hemingway gives a portrait of the young people who are unable to achieve something for themselves and are driven by trivial and vain lascivious pleasures. Hiding behind the term „lost generation“ they might have spoken up for themselves. The War had affected them tremendously and left serious consequences. When writing about these young people, Šoljan gets very sympathetic. There might be a „lost generation“ at any time of human history. They should be accepted and encouraged to find their own place under the sun. But once settled in, there wouldn't be the group of the „outsiders“ and unloyals (traitors) to read about. Instead of them there would appear mature and responsible people.
