El la vivo de esperantistoj
by V. Stankiević
About the author
V. Stankiević is known today mainly for El la vivo de esperantistoj, an Esperanto narrative published in 1896. Bibliographic records and public-domain listings consistently connect that title with the name V. Stankiević, placing the author among the very early contributors to Esperanto literature.
The book has lasting interest because it comes from the movement’s formative period and focuses on the people around it rather than on language lessons alone. Modern library descriptions present it as a story about relationships, disagreements, and shared ideals within the young Esperanto community.
Beyond that work, reliable biographical details about the author are hard to confirm from readily accessible sources. No clear, verified portrait image was found during this search.
