Ivan Cankar’s early twentieth-century novel follows Francka and her family through poverty, work, and the pressures of ordinary life. This opening lingers on a sleepless night, using intimate domestic details and reflections on love, guilt, and memory. The language combines everyday household and rural vocabulary with more lyrical description. Most sentences are long, with linked clauses and shifting images, so you will need to follow their structure carefully. The quiet, inward focus makes this a demanding but concrete read in Slovenian.

Questions about this book
What level of Slovenian do I need for this book?
The estimate is B1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The work is in the public domain, and the text comes from Wikisource under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 50 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 4 h 53 min at a native pace, spread over 8 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
