Slavici was born in the village of Şiria, near Arad, in 1848, the year of the great revolutions that swept throughout Europe, also reaching his native Transylvania, then part of the Habsburg Empire. Until 1868, Slavici studied in various schools in Transylvania, obliged to learn Hungarian and German, the use of Romanian being forbidden in the schools. In 1868, Slavici left Transylvania for Budapest where he intended to study law. The following year, however, financial difficulties forced him to return home and take a job as a notary.

Two years later, he left for Vienna in the course of his military service. This proved to be a decisive moment in the life of the future writer, for here he met Mihai Eminescu, the great Romanian poet, who had also come to Vienna to study. The two became friends and Eminescu encouraged and assisted Slavici in developing his writings. The same year marked his literary debut in Convorbiri Literare, the review of the Junimea society in Iasi. In 1872, Slavici again had to interrupt his studies because of financial difficulties. Two years later he moved to Iasi, where he participated in the meetings of the Junimea society. His first book, Nuvele din popor, a collection of short stories, appeared in 1881.

In 1909, Slavici began to work for the pro-German newspaper Ziua in Bucharest. With the outbreak of World War I, this brought him into conflict with other intellectuals who supported the Allied powers. In 1916 Romania entered the war on the side of the Allies. With the collapse of the Allied forces in the East, the German army swiftly invaded Romania, occupying Bucharest. The Romanian Government took refuge at Iaşi. During this time, Slavici collaborated with the German forces, working as editor of the occupation journal, Bucharest Gazette. After the German withdrawal, Slavici was put on trial for his wartime activities and spent one year in prison.
