Born in 1849, in the village of Vysny Kubin, in Orava, Pavol Orszagh Hviezdoslav is one of the most significant Slovak poets that ever lived.
As well as his poetry, he also wrote many fine plays and was an accomplished translator.
Hviezdoslav died in 1921, in Dolny Kubin, where he wrote most of his works. He is buried in the Dolny Kubin cemetery, and the town also has an excellent museum that is dedicated to telling his life story.
