Cvetje v jeseni: Tavčarjeva pozna ustvarjalnost.
- Authors
Starc, Martina
- Abstract
Tavčar's short novel Autumn blooms describes the late love of the main character Janez Kosem. His »old age« at 38 years, however, comes from an aged spirit and the world-weariness that he experiences in the city rather than an aged body. His planned escape to the countryside is an idealistic attempt at life change, though the death of his bride prevents it from coming true. The novel praises the Slovene farmers and a way of life that respects hard work, fairness, honesty and love. Thus in time of war, Tavcar becomes a proponent of traditional values that should bring meaning to man and survival and prosperity to the nation.
