Vladimir Nazor

Died in 1949

Vladimir Nazor was born in 1876 in Postira, on the island of Brač. He studied natural sciences in Graz, taught biology in secondary schools in Istria and Dalmatia, then ran an orphanage near Zagreb. He wrote without interruption for fifty years: verse, tales and stories. In 1942, at the age of sixty-six, he left Zagreb to join the partisans in the mountains, with the poet Ivan Goran Kovačić. He then presided over the assembly of federal Croatia, a post he held until his death in Zagreb in 1949.
