Nazor Vladimir
(1876—1949)

Poet, storywriter, essayist and politician. He completed his natural science studies in Graz, Austria and worked as a teacher in Split, Zadar, Pazin and Koper, and later in Kastav, Zagreb, Sušak and Crikvenica , and again in Zagreb. At the end of 1942, he joined the Partisans, accompained by the Croatian poet Ivan Goran Kovačić. He was the first speaker of ZAVNOH (Croatian war parliament). He died as the Speaker of the Parliament of the National Republic of Croatia. He started writing in secondary school and throughout his life he considered literature as the only meaningful objective of his life. Although distant from the Croatian literary circles and centres of the time, he was the most influential poet immediately before the First World War, both as the author of epic and of lyric poems, and was considered the greatest national poet, the poet of the coming generation, primarily because he incited the fighting spirit of the young. His literary works reflected not only his rich spiritual life, but were also his answer to the political circumstances in which he lived and worked.
