Svetolik Ranković

Svetolik P. Ranković (1863–1899) bio je srpski pisac iz perioda realizma. Iako njegovo književno delo nije obimno, kritika ga ubraja u pronicljive autore koji su uspeli da prikažu sliku Srbije osamdesetih i devedesetih godina 19. veka.

Pošto je završio Bogosloviju, Ranković je otišao u Kijev, gde je upisao Duhovnu akademiju. U Kijevu se upoznao sa ruskom i svetskom literaturom, a najviše na njega utiču dela Tolstoja, Gogolja, Gončarova, Koroljenka i drugih ruskih pisaca. Uticaj Tolstoja i Dostojevskog posebno je primetan u Rankovićevim romanima i odnosi se, pre svega, na izbor teme i junaka, slikanje unutrašnjeg života, humanistički odnos prema čoveku zapalom u bespomoćan položaj, prirodu sporednih lica kao prikrivenih komentara pojedinih ju
