Štefan Golja i njegovi

Ivan Pregelj

"Štefan Golja and His Men" is a novel by Slovenian writer Ivan Pregelj from 1928. The work is set in the historical context of the Tolmin Peasants' Revolt of 1713, providing deep insight into the social and spiritual challenges of the time.

The main character, Štefan Golja, is based on a real person, the son of a Tolmin peasant, Simon Golja, who was ordained a priest in 1713. In the novel, Štefan Golja confronts the tensions between traditional Catholic morality and human nature. Through his character, Pregelj explores the complexity of the human soul, moral dilemmas, and conflicts between spiritual ideals and worldly challenges.

The novel is characterized by rich language and detailed descriptions, providing the reader with a sense of authenticity and immersion in the time and space of the action. Pregelj skillfully balances between historical fact and fiction, creating a work that is both educational and artistically valuable.

"Štefan Golja and His" is considered one of the pinnacles of Pregelj's work, summarizing the basic features of his literature, including the enduring tension between traditional teachings on morality and efforts to harmonize it with man's primordial human nature.

This work provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of Slovenian cultural and historical heritage, while at the same time raising universal questions about human nature, morality, and spirituality.
