Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (November 24, 1833 Novi Sad-June 1, 1904 Sremska Kamenica) also known as Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj or J.J. Zmaj was a Serbian writer, physician and poet.
He studied medicine in both Budapest and Vienna, and worked as a physician in Novi Sad for many years. In addition to his medical career, he was a prolific writer and poet, and was a prominent figure in Serbian literary circles in the late 19th and early 20th century. Zmaj's poetry often dealt with themes of love, nature, and the plight of the common people, and he is considered one of the most significant poets of the Serbian Romantic period. He was also a strong advocate for education and was involved in the development of Serbia's first teachers' college. Zmaj's legacy lives on through the numerous schools, libraries, and cultural institutions named in his honor throughout Serbia and the Serbian diaspora.
Zmaj is particularly beloved for his children's poetry, which remains popular to this day. He published several collections of children's poetry, including "Đulići" ("Little Daisies") and "Đulići uveoci" ("Little Daisies in the Evening"), which are still taught in Serbian schools. Zmaj was also a talented humorist, and wrote many satirical works, including the comedy play "Ženidba Cara Dušana" ("The Marriage of Tsar Dušan"). He was also an early advocate for women's rights and dedicated several of his works to the struggle for gender equality. Zmaj's work has had a lasting impact on Serbian literature and culture, and he is remembered as a national treasure whose poetry and writing continue to inspire new generations of writers and readers.
