Jakub Grajchman
Edit ProfileCareer
He lived most of his life in Liptovský Mikuláš and Liptovský Hrádok, where he worked as a notary and judicial advisor, before returning to his birthplace, where he also died. A supporter of Ľudovít Štúr in his Slovak language standardisation programme (manifested also by his consistent use of the Slovak spelling for his surname, which is of German origin), Grajchman did not rank among the most prominent Slovak-writing authors of the period. Apart from writing poetry, Grajchman was also a dramatist, mostly authoring plays for amateur theaters.
However, one of his plays, Kto zaplatí nohavice? (Who Will Pay the Trousers?) from 1867, was adapted and broadcast as a radio play in the 20th century.
