Specification
Jozef Cíger Hronský (23.2.1896 Zvolen - 13.7.1960 Luján, Argentina), is among the most significant representatives of modern Slovak literature. He is considered a pioneer of new directions in Slovak literary development in the 20th century. He is the author of extraordinarily popular books for children and youth, collections of novellas, novels, and travel sketches. He was a leading figure of Matica slovenská, the supreme Slovak cultural and scientific institution. He determined its developmental program, which aimed at the comprehensive development of Slovak national culture. He contributed not only to the growth of its membership base but also to the creation of its scientific departments and the establishment of the Slovak National Library. Hronský is credited with significant contributions to the development of publishing activities - he founded the new printing house Neografia, which was the most efficient printing house in Slovakia at that time, thus ensuring the financial independence of Matica slovenská. He continued Matica activities even in exile in Argentina. In 1959, he co-founded the Foreign Matica slovenská.
