Milan Begović

Died in 1948

Milan Begović was born in Vrlika, in Dalmatia, in 1876. He studied Romance languages in Zagreb and Vienna, taught in Split, then worked in dramaturgy and stage direction in the theatres of Hamburg and Vienna, before returning in 1927 to take over the direction of the national theatre in Zagreb. He left one of the most abundant and varied bodies of work of the first half of the Croatian century: plays, novels, short stories, travel narratives, verse and the libretto of an opera performed abroad. Kept out of literary life after 1945, he died in Zagreb in 1948.
