Act

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ascribed Dubrović nobility without snobbery, a comprehensive education free from conceit and humane understanding and described him as a thinker, at home in Austria's literature and art.

He came into contact with the capital's cultural scene at an early age. Already at the age of 15 he is said to have been to be found almost every day in the Café Herrenhof in Vienna's Herrengasse . Representatives of classical Viennese modernism such as Franz Werfel , Friedrich Torberg or Alexander Lernet-Holenia , but also the literary critic Ernst Polak, frequented there .

He described his memories in his book Veruntreute Geschichte , where he provides a detailed description of the Viennese literary scene before 1938.
