Ivo Vojnović

Ivo Vojnović was born in Dubrovnik on 9 October 1857, the eldest son of Count Konstantin, a jurist and politician, and of a Florentine mother; his family held a title of count from Venice. He studied law in Zagreb and served for twenty-five years in the judicial administration of Dalmatia, from which he was dismissed in 1907. He entered literature with a short story in 1880, and was then dramaturge of the national theatre in Zagreb until 1911. Imprisoned and interned from 1914 to 1917 for his Yugoslav sympathies, treated in France for an eye complaint that left him almost blind, he died in Belgrade on 30 August 1929.
