Abstract

The article presents the childhood and the grammar school years of the famous Slovene poet, playwright, writer, translator and literary critic, Vladimir Pavšič-Bor (1913- 1993)—years which he spent in Štore and Celje. His literary journey began early in his childhood and continued during his high school years in Celje, when he did not yet go by the name Matej Bor but was known as Pavšičev Mirko from Štore. Based on his autobiography, the article portrays Pavšič’s school friends, his high school teachers, his time at I. gimnazija Celje (First Grammar School, Celje) and his extracurricular engagements in Štore. His literary talent budded from early on. In addition, he was a gifted athlete, runner, member of the Sokol gymnastic society and the Štore Gun Club, as well as an actor who performed on stage.
