Bust of Croatian novelist August Senoa (1838-1881) in Zagreb, Croatia
August Ivan Nepomuk Eduard Senoa (14 November 1838 - 13 December 1881) was a Croatian novelist. Born to an ethnic German and Slovak family, Senoa became a key figure in the development of an independent literary tradition in Croatian and shaping the emergence of the urban Croatian identity of Zagreb and its surroundings at a time when Austrian control was weaning. He was a literary transitional figure, who helped bring Croatian literature from Romanticism to Realism and introduced the historical novel to Croatia. He wrote more than ten novels, among which the most notable are: Zlatarovo zlato (The Goldsmith's Treasure; 1871), Cuvaj se senjske ruke (Pirates of Senj; 1876), Seljacka buna (Peasants' revolt; 1877), and Diogenes (1878). Senoa was one of the most popular Croatian novelists at the time, and the author of the popular patriotic song "Zivila Hrvatska".
