Rikard Jorgovanić (born Rikard Flieder, 11 April 1853 – 24 October 1880) was a Croatian writer, editor, and poet. The son of a Bohemian-born parent of German ethnicity, his Croatianized last name was calqued after German Flieder. He enrolled in the public school of Varaždin, and later continued his education in Zagreb. His poetical verses are characterized by intrigue and intimacy. While he is known as the first writer of fantasy in Croatia, his work also differs from the usual nationalistic ideology of the time.[1]
