Fran Sale%C5%A1ki Fin%C5%BEgar


Fran Saleki Fingar was perhaps the most popular Slovene folk writer. He is particularly known for his novels and short stories, although he also wrote poems and plays.

Fran Saleki Fingar was born into a poor peasant family in the Upper Carniolan village of Doslove, in what was then the AustroHungarian Empire. After finishing primary education in the town of Radovljica, he attended secondary school in Ljubljana between 1882 and 1891, continuing his education at the theological college. He was ordained priest in 1894 and worked in various parishes in Upper Carniola and Ljubljana until 1936, when he retired. He died in Ljubljana at the age of 91 and was buried at the ale cemetery.
