Milan Ogrizović (Croatian pronunciation:[mǐlanogrǐːzovit͡ɕ];[2] February 11, 1877 – August 25, 1923)[1][2] was a Croatian author, playwright, politician, and academic, serving as a professor and lecturer at the Croatian National Theater. His plays are among the most commonly performed Croatian works.[3]
Milan Ogrizović was born on February 11, 1877, in Senj, the third son of Ilija Ogrizović, a postal worker, and Franjka (née Krišković). Ogrizović was raised in Zavalje, near Bihać in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, by his maternal uncle, a parish priest,[a] who converted him from Eastern OrthodoxytoCatholicism. He completed secondary schooling in Gospić, near his birthplace.
Although he wrote in several mediums, Ogrizović is best known in Croatian literature as a playwright.[3] His first play, Breath (Croatian: Dah) – inspired by Henrik Ibsen[3] – was first performed at the Croatian National Theater in 1901. He became increasingly inspired by local Croatian traditions and national history. His most famous play, Hasanaginica (1909), was adapted from a 17th-century folk balladofthe same name from the Dalmatian hinterland,[3][4] which earned him a Demeter's Award and remained in the National Theater's repertoire for decades.[3] His tetralogy, Year of Love (Croatian: Godina ljubavi), consists of four one-act plays written over several years: Spring Morning (Croatian: Proljetno jutro, 1903), Summer Afternoon (Croatian: Ljetno popodne, 1904), Autumn Evening (Croatian: Jesenje veče, 1903), and Winter Night (Croatian: Zimska noć, 1906).[3]
Ogrizović and his wife, Ljuba, were close friends of the poet and playwright Fran Galović. Galović's final letter was addressed from the Serbian front to Ogrizović:
My dear, I greet you once again. It's morning and we have to rush at 10 o'clock. It's sunny, Sunday and a wonderful, warm morning. One would really like to die on such a sunny day. Tell Sanctissima[b] to pray for the repose of my soul if I am gone. Your Fran loves you.[5][c]
^Ogrizović's wife, Ljuba. From Latin, literally "the most sacred".
^Original Croatian: Moj dragi, još jednom Te pozdravljam. Jutro je i u 10 sati imamo navaliti. Sunce je, nedjelja i divno, toplo jutro. Čovjek bi čisto želio umrijeti u ovako sunčan dan. Reci Sanctissimi da se pomoli za upokoj moje duše ako me više ne bude. Ljubi te tvoj Fran.
