A prominent Croatian physician and an expert working for international health organisations, Dr Andrija Štampar, wrote this Diary during his travels around the world between 1931 and 1938. He met various kinds of people—presidents, minsters, diplomats, and famous professors and scientists. He witnessed the Italian occupation of Abyssinia, the Sino-Japanese War, Soviet Five-Year Plans, and the rise of dictatorships in Europe. In the Diary, he also described the fate of ordinary people, primarily peasants, in the whirlwind of war, poverty, illness, and personal tragedies. Štampar's personal life also unravels on the pages of the Diary alongside the life of his family back home.
