Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.9 MB
Overview: Newcomers is widely regarded the most important Slovenian novel of the twentieth century.
The first volume of this three-part autobiographical series begins in 1938 with the expulsion of the Kovacic family from their home of Switzerland, eventually leading to their settlement in the father’s home country of Slovenia. Narrated by Kovacic as a ten-year-old boy, he describes his family’s journey with uncanny naiveté. Before leaving their home, he imagines his father’s home country as something beautiful out of a fairytale, but as they make their way toward exile, he and his family realize that any attempt to make a home in Slovenia will be in vain. Confronted by misery, hunger, and hostility, the young boy refuses to learn Slovenian and falls silent, his surroundings becoming a social, cultural and mental abyss.
