text: Milovan Glišić (6 January 1847 – 20 January 1908) was a Serbian writer, dramatist, translator, and literary theorist.  He is sometimes referred to as the Serbian Gogol.
  
  Legacy
  
  Glišić is considered to be one of the best translators of his time and several of his short stories including Prva Brazda and Glava Šećera are studied in Serbian schools and included in various anthologies of short stories.
  His translations of Russian writers Gogol and Tolstoy severely influenced Serbian culture of that time and future  writers Stevan Sremac, Svetozar Ćorović, Branislav Nušić and many others.
  
  According to Slobodan Jovanović, Glišić was one of the first Serbian short story writers to attempt a more serious characterization in his works.
  
  He was awarded Order of the Cross of Takovo and Order of St. Sava of the third and the fourth class.
