The annual congress of the International Association of Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Essayists, and Novelists (PEN) which met during the last week in May 1933 in the Jugoslav town of Dubrovnik, Croatia, presented a sorry picture of the lack of moral stamina and convictions of the literary world. The first PEN Club was founded in Great Britain for the express purpose of promoting international solidarity among writers and freedom of literary expression. Since then the movement has spread to forty nations in Europe and America, and is today the most respected and numerically the strongest organization of creative intellectuals in the world.
