text
· the little man, on the pageIvan Cankar velja za največjega slovenskega pisatelja. Z deli, kot so črtice in drame, je opisoval malega človeka in družbene krivice. Skupaj s pesniki Župančičem, Kettejem in Murnom je zaznamoval obdobje moderne ob koncu 19. stoletja. Cankarjev jezik je čustven in oster hkrati, poln simbolov in domotožja. Še danes njegova dela beremo v šolah, saj ostajajo presenetljivo aktualna.

Ivan Cankar is considered the greatest Slovene writer. With works such as sketches and plays, he depicted the common man and social injustice. Together with the poets Župančič, Kette and Murn he marked the period of the Moderna at the end of the 19th century. Cankar's language is emotional and sharp at once, full of symbols and longing for home. We still read his works in schools today, since they remain surprisingly relevant.
