Branko Ćopić
Branko Ćopić (January 1, 1915 – March 26, 1984) was a famous writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who wrote in the Serbo-Croatian language, and his work includes prose for children and adults, poetry, satire and short stories. He was born in Hašani, near Bosanska Krupa, and studied philosophy in Belgrade.
During World War II, he was a partisan and war correspondent, which strongly influenced his literary work. Ćopić is best known for his novels and short stories that intertwine humor, lyricism and realistic themes. His works are often set in Bosnian landscapes and depict the lives of ordinary people.
Among the most famous works are the novels "Prolom", "Gluvi barut" and the trilogy about the boy Nikoletina Bursać. He also wrote beloved children's books, such as "The Hedgehog's House", "The Adventures of Cat Tose" and "Eagles Fly Early", which have become classics of children's literature in this region.
His style is characterized by warmth, satire and folk humor, and he often criticized social injustices, which brought him into conflict with the authorities.
