Milan Savić

Milan Savić ( ; 1845 – 21 February 1930) was a Serbian polymath: physician writer, historian, philosopher, medical doctor, geographer, literary critic and translator of Goethe's "Faust" in Serbian. Savić was a president of Matica srpska (1896–1911).

Biography Savić was born in Turska Kanjiža, Austrian Empire. He lends his services as a medical doctor in the Serbian–Ottoman War (1876–78) and the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885. Among the institutions of national culture, the stage had received praiseworthy attention, that classical dramatic work of the West is acted in the Serbian idiom on the stages of Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Kragujevac. Not only Schiller's "Mary Stuart" and "Don Carlos", Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Othello", but Goethe's "Faust" in the Serb theatre of Novi Sad was produced. The translator, in the metre of the original, was from the pen of this Serbian physician and literary critic.

He was the father of Anica Savić Rebac.
