Ivan Bratko (15 February 1914 – 23 March 2001) was a Slovene writer and publisher, partisan and officer.
Bratko was born in Celje in 1914.[1] He graduated in law from the University of Ljubljana[1] in 1941. He was a member of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia from 1933 and published numerous articles and columns on socio-economic matters even before the Second World War. He was interned at Gonars concentration camp from where he escaped and joined the partisan.[1] His escape from Gonars was also the inspiration for his best known book Teleskop (Telescope), for which he won the Levstik Award in 1954.[2] From 1952 until his retirement in 1981 he worked as head of the DZS Publishing House.[3]
