Aleksa Šantić

Aleksa Šantić (Cyrillic: Алекса Шантић) (May 27 1868February 2 1924) was a Serbian poet from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was born, brought up, lived most his life, and died in Mostar (Austria-Hungary. He attended merchant schools in Trieste and Ljubljana.

The work of Aleksa Šantić was both high in quality and high in volume, which earned him a high place in the pantheon of South Slavic poetry. He was strongly influenced by Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Vojislav Ilić and Heinrich Heine. The topics and images of his poems ranged from strong emotions for social injustices of his time to nostalgic love. His poems about Mostar and the river Neretva breathe pure patriotism and are considered particularly beautiful. Šantić wrote a number of love songs in the style of the Bosnian love songs, sevdalinkas. His most well known sevdalinka is "Emina" (female Moslem name), to which music was composed and it is often sung at restaurants (kafanas).
