Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević (Croatian: [sîːlʋije strǎximir krǎːɲtʃeʋitɕ]; 17 February 1865 – 29 October 1908) was a Croatian poet, literary editor and translator, one of the central figures of the realism in Croatian literature. As an editor of the Nada magazine, he was "the most distinctive cultural phenomenon in Sarajevo at the turn of the century" and published the world's first translation of the then-young Luigi Pirandello in that magazine. His most notable work was Bugarkinje, a book of poetry published in 1885 that explores the themes of Homeland, Man, and Universe.
