ПРВИТЕ ТВОРБИ НА УЧЕНИКОТ АЦО ШОПОВ / THE PRIME WORKS OF THE STUDENT ACO ŠOPOV

Abstract

The paper presents and comments the prime works of the student Aco
Šopov written during his school time and communist activities of youths under the
Serbian and Bulgarian rule. The poems written in his high school Notebook for written
compositions during the third grade of the real high school, as well as other poems notated
on separate sheets are previewed in this article. More precisely, thirty-two poems written
in Serbian language in total, out of which, seventeen are written in the Notebook. The titles
of the poems written in native Macedonian language from the missing poetry collection
“Anovi” or “Poems about Stip” written in 1941, as well as poems dedicated to the death of
his best teachers Vanco Prke and Slavco Stojmenski are exposed. The poems have lyrical,
social, love, romantic and patriotic theme inspired by the social-economic conditions in
the second half of the last century and the poor and difficult situation of the family Šopovi.
The article discusses the three main phenomena as a possible way out of salvation
from the difficult childhood years, from childhood and non-childhood years and from the “hundred-headed” monster:
– writing songs during high school,
– the activity in the literary society “Progress” in high school,
– involvement and active action in the Communist youth organization until he
joined the Partisans at the end of September 1943.
