Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević

Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević was born in Senj on 17 February 1865, the son of a minor civil servant. He attended secondary school without graduating, left in 1883 to study theology in Rome and gave up after a semester. Back home, he passed his teacher's examination in Zagreb, but found no post in Croatia: a half-brother placed in the Bosnian administration obtained one for him in Mostar. He taught and ran schools in Mostar, Livno, Bijeljina and then Sarajevo, where in 1895 he joined the editorial board of a review which he made the city's most significant cultural event. He died in Sarajevo on 29 October 1908.
