Product description
Božena Slančíková Timrava (2 October 1867 – 27 November 1951) was a leading exponent of the late realism style in Slovak literature. Her stories typically feature rural workers, the rural intelligentsia and groups promoting Slovak national interests. She also introduced a type of character new in Slovak literature – a woman with a fully developed psychological profile who feels sorrow and disillusionment in relation to the fin de siècle social atmosphere. Her works display autobiographical elements, criticism, irony, and a focus on character psychology. In her later writings she concentrated on serious social issues. Among the best-known of her short stories and novels are: Za koho ísť?, Pomocník, Ťažké položenie, Tak je darmo, Pozde, Nemilí, Bál, Skúsenosť, Bez hrdosti, Veľké šťastie, Tá zem vábna, Márnosť všetko, Ťapákovci, Hrdinovia, Skon Paľa Ročku, Dve doby, and Záplava. She also wrote plays occasionally, but these did not reach the heights of her prose works.
