Josip Jurčič

Died in 1881

Josip Jurčič was born on 4 March 1844 in Muljava, the son of a coachman who also ran a small grocery shop there; his maternal grandfather, a storyteller, passed on to him a taste for stories. After secondary school in Ljubljana, he took three semesters of Slavic and classical philology in Vienna, which he had to leave for lack of money in 1867. In 1868 he joined the editorial staff of the Slovenski narod, edited it from 1871 and moved it to Ljubljana the following year. He died of tuberculosis in Ljubljana on 3 May 1881.
