Franc Ksaver Meško was born in Ključarovce, near Sveti Tomaž, in the Slovenian Stiria. [first] [2]

After attending middle schools in Celje, he studied theology in Maribor and Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, and dedicated himself to ecclesiastical activities carrying out the priesthood in numerous regions of Yugoslavia. [2] [3]

During the First World War, in the winter of 1916 he was accused of treason and imprisoned, [4] And in 1919 Meško had to leave Austrian carinthia, [2] Instead during the Second World War, it was first incarcerated, then conducted in Croatia, where, after difficult experiences in Bosnia and Serbia, the years of the war in the Monastery of Stično spent. [2] On June 15, 1945 he returned to his parish in Slovenj Gradec. [2]

Approached literature, he made his debut with prose essays and verses, with the novel Oak ( Oak , 1896), after which he highlighted with a naturalistic novel, entitled Where do we end up? ( Where do we sail? , 1897), focused on marriage events and betrayals, deepened with a realistic spirit, as well as with moralistic intent and psychological descriptions. [first] [4]

In these first works Meško also highlighted the tendency to approach the symbolistic current that in those years, thanks also to him, was spreading in the Slovenian literature. [3] [4]

In the following two works, Sketches and stories ( Pictures and tell ,, 1898-1899) and From my diary ( Out of my diary , 1900), Meško mixed a realistic style, in the psychological deepening of his characters, with great pessimism and idealism. [first]

They were characterized by a lyrical and reflective subjectivism, by the symbolistic and mystical prose, for the autobiographical ideas, the three subsequent stories: Sketch ( Dashes , 1901-1902), On silent evenings ( In addition to the quiet multioeers , 1904), Peace of God ( Peace of God , 1906), which were highly appreciated by literary criticism.

Imbued with those patriotic and nationalistic tendencies, which at the beginning of the twentieth century also reached its quiet Stirian country, proved to be the novel And Poljana ( In Poljana , 1907) and some dramas, such as The sentenced to death ( To death convicted , 1908) and Mother ( Die , 1914). The voluminous novel And Poljana , allowed Meško to present a complete picture of the life of a Slovenian village, as a symbol of the whole homeland. [first] [4]

Also to remember some essays of meditations, Autumn evening meditation ( Meditation Autumn Evening , 1904) and tales of legends, Legends of San Francesco ( Legends of St. Francis , 1917), characterized by elegite tones, spiritual reflections addressed to youth, to which Meško dedicated some books, such as To young hearts ( Youth ,, 1911-1922) and To youth ( Youth , 1927). [3] [4]

His books have also been translated into various foreign languages, mainly in Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Swedish, German and English. [5]
