Slavko Janevski
Biography
Slavko Janevski was born in 1920 in Skopje. His father was an itinerant worker. He studied mechanical engineering but his studies were interrupted by World War II. His family moved to Belgrade and he joined the partisans. By this time he was writing poetry, though after the war he worked as an editor and journalist. After being involved in the war with Greece, he turned to fiction. His novel Стебла (later: Село зад седумте јасени)) (which translates as Treetrunks (later: Village Beyond Seven Ash Trees)) is considered the first Macedonian novel. As well as writing prose, poetry and works for children, Janevski was very active in helping develop Macedonian literature and in encouraging new talent. He died in 2000.
