Борисав Станкович (1875—1927) — крупнейший представитель критического реализма в сербской литературе конца XIX — начала XX в. В романе «Дурная кровь», воссоздавая быт и нравы Далмации и провинциальной Сербии на рубеже веков, автор осуждает нравственные устои буржуазного мира, пришедшего на смену патриархальному обществу.

Жизнь постоянно испытывает героев Мориака на прочность, и мало кто из них с честью выдерживает эти испытания. Роман Ф. Мориака «Тайна семьи...
