Karol Salva (1849 - 1913) published, printed, and edited mainly calendars, magazines and books by Slovak authors in his printing house, which he established in Ružomberok in 1888. During his active work in this field, he came into conflict with several of his contemporaries and collaborators. His disputes were of a confessional, conceptual-political and human nature, their cause was often his plainness and impulsiveness, they arose also because of his failure to communicate with his coworkers, his negligence, his inconsistency in printing or proofreading books, his failure to fulfil his obligations, and so on. Ľudmila Riznerová Podjavorinská (1872 - 1951), a writer, poet, prose writer and founder of modern Slovak literature for children, also had negative experience with him. Her feelings for him were deeper than just admiring and friendly. She came into contact with him several times in the work area. He approached her with a request to contribute to the almanac Od Šumavy k Tatrám (From Sumava to the Tatras), she published in magazines published by him and he published her debut collection Z vesny života (From the Vespers of Life). It is also evident from her experience that working with Salva was not entirely easy and straightforward. Salva often responded to her letters and questions only after a long period of time had passed, he did not inform her about the status of the work on the almanac or the prin ting of the collection, he constantly postponed publication dates, etc. When the prin ted sheets of her poems reached her, she discovered that, because of Salvo's inconsistent proofreading, her private notes had been printed on them as well.
