  • Zlatarovo zlato (Goldsmith's gold; 1871)


  • Čuvaj se senjske ruke (Pirates of Senj; 1876)

Life




Statue of August Šenoa by Marija Ujević-Galetović, in Vlaška street, Zagreb


He was born in Zagreb, then part of the Habsburg Empire, into a family of Slovak-German origin. His surname was originally spelled Schönoa. His father was Alois Schönoa, and mother was Terezija Rabacs, a Slovak woman from Budapest. He studied law in Prague. He also lived in Vienna for a while, but returned to Zagreb in 1866. He died in Zagreb at the age of 43.


From 1874 to 1881, he edited the literary journal Vijenac ("Wreath").


He died from disease picked up after the 1880 Zagreb earthquake.



Work


In his novels, he fused national romanticism characterized by buoyant and inventive language with realistic depictions of the growth of the petite bourgeois class.


This "father of the Croatian novel" (and modern national literature) is at his best in his mass Cecildemillean scenes and poetic description of oppressed Croatian peasantry, nobility struggling against foreign rule (Venetians, Austrians/Germans and Hungarians) and romanticised period from the 15th to the 18th century. It has become a commonplace phrase that "Šenoa created the Croatian reading public", especially by writing in a popular style.



Legacy


In 2008, a total of 182 streets in Croatia were named after August Šenoa, making him the seventh most common person eponym of streets in the country.[1]
