"Jordan Hadzi Konstantinov"
Finishing education, he engaged himself in the literary
activities opening a school where he gave lectures in Macedonian language.
Having no understanding about his activities, the authorities kept banishing and
arresting him. However, he stayed consistent to his ideas and managed to open a
private school in
Veles where he worked
for the rest of his life.
Besides the educational activity, he also translated and
prepared various educational literature - for the needs of the school he
translated "Izica" writen by Dositej Obradovic and prepared the first elementary
text book titled "Tablica pervaja". He collected and wrote
several folk songs and prepared two collections of aphorisms. His name has been
connected with the first plays in Macedonia. They are not original, some of them
have didactic characteristics or translated from Greek and represent his attempt
to write a play. |
