Beschrijving

Bol The book opens dimensions of justice and redemption. It compares Cankar’s works with those of Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Ibsen, Hauptmann and the Bible. Compassion and love, especially for the weak, are greater than exigencies of justice. In his last works he offers a vision of redemption for all suffering people during the First World War. The book shows Ivan Cankar (1876–1918) as the first Slovenian writer to examine the human conscience, justice, guilt and punishment in a way comparable to Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, and influenced also by the Bible. Given Cankar’s own bitter childhood experience of poverty and his awareness of the ceaseless injustice which rules the world, he has compassion for the wrongdoings carried out by people from lower social realms, especially children, and is all the more critical towards higher classes who cause their suffering. In his last book, Dream Visions, he reveals his experience of the First World War. He encompasses feelings of fear and anguish before death and surpasses them with the faith in redemption of all suffering people.
