Tugomil Ujčić
Prominent Istrians

ugomil Ujčić was born in Pazin in 1906. He worked as professor of literature and at the same time wrote poems, dramas and cultural-historical works. Ujčić's first work is the book Contents of Operas (1938), in which he describes 64 operas by 35 composers.

Ujčić was inspired by historic events that had impact on societies and/or on human feelings: the war against fascism, Istarske legende (Istrian Legends); the student masacre in Kragujevac, 1941, Bilo me stid to ostadoh živ (My Shame of Survival); the revolt of Croatian and Slovenian peasants in 1573, Pod usijanom krunom (Under the Scorching Crown); and the citizen revolt in Kastav 1666, Smrt kastavskog kapetana (The Kastav Captain's Death)...

Ujčić is one of the "quiet" poets, professor, then retiree, who occasionally "surprises" the literary public with a collection of poetry or a new drama. He usually pays publishing expenses from his own earnings as professor and later retiree, or from an occasional prize.

Tugomil Ujčić je rođen u Pazinu 1906. Radio je kao profesor književnosti, i istovremeno pisao pjesme, drame i kulturno-povijesne spise. Prvo Ujčićevo djelo je knjiga "Sadržaji opera" (1938), u kojoj on daje prikaz 64 opere i 35 kompozitora.

Ujčićeva inspiracija su povijesni događji i stresovi iz raznih epoha: rat protiv fašizma, Istarske Legende; kragujevacka tragedija iz 1941, Bilo me stid što ostadoh živ; pobuna hrvatskih i slovenskih kmetova 1573, Pod usijanom krunom; i pobuna Kastavaca 1666, Smrt kastavskog kapetana...

Ujčić je jedan od "tihih" pjesnika, profesor i kasnije umirovljenik koji povremeno "iznenađuje" ponekom zbirkom, čije izdavanje obično financira vlastitim sredstvima, usteđevinom od profesorske plaće a kasnije penzije, te od poneke književne nagrade.
