Life He was born to a Croat family from Drinovci near Grude on 18 November 1898, in the family of Vida and Martin Šimić. He attended primary school in his native village, and then the first three forms of the Franciscan classical gymnasium in Široki Brijeg. He decided to change schools in the fourth form. He went to Mostar. Afterwards, to Vinkovci (Gymnasium Vinkovci). His unruly spirit made him change his surroundings again, and so he continued his education in Zagreb, in the upper town grammar school. In 1917, he started the journal for art and culture, Vijavica (Whirlwind), which forced him to leave school. This is when he lost his parents' support and it also meant a hard life overpowered by many illnesses. After four issues of Vijavica, taking the example of the German journal Der Sturm, he also launched another journal, Juriš (Attack), which likewise had a short life of three issues only.

Šimić published his essays in his…
