Vjekoslav Kaleb

Vjekoslav Kaleb was born on 27 September 1905 in Tisno, near Šibenik. He trained as a teacher in Zadar, Belgrade and Šibenik, then taught in the villages of the hinterland, whose poverty nourished his first books. He joined the partisans in 1943 and in 1944 organised the cultural life of the El Shatt refugee camp, in Egypt, to which the inhabitants of the islands and the coast had been evacuated. After the war he edited journals, was secretary of the Society of Croatian Writers and artistic director of a film studio, and entered the Academy in 1961. He died in Zagreb on 13 April 1996.
