In Ivan Cankar's writings, particulary literary ones, yearning has assumed the shape which was to become paradigmatic for Slovene literature as a whole.
In Cankar's work this para-ontological or, even more, meta-ontological determination of yearning which was developed in subsequent Christian literature is lost, and yearning is identified with the basic feeling of the schöne Seele, as Hegel put it, i.e.
The interpretation to be found in Henry Leeming's translation of Hiša Marije Pomočnice by Ivan Cankar serves to illustrate this.

During a time of social and political upheaval in the late nineteenth century, Cankar became a political activist and was imprisoned for his criticism of the Austrian regime.
He became briefly involved in the Yugoslav Social Democratic Party and in 1907 ran for parliament, but was not elected.  In 1913, he delivered a speech to further a Yugoslav federal republic titled, “Slovenes and Yugoslavs”, advocating that both peoples should have national autonomy.  (Plut-Pregelj, Leopoldina and Carole Rogel, Historical Dictionary of Slovenia, p.32-3, 1996).
“Ivan Cankar has been called ‘the outstanding master of Slovenian prose’ and his works, notably The Ward of Our Lady of Mercy and The Bailiff Yerney and His Rights, influenced a generation of young Slovenian writers.”  His collected works were edited by Izidor Canker in 20 volumes.

It is because of this that he has been honored in Pula, that his films have been screened in Cannes and Venice, that he has been written about in Cahiers du Cinema and Positif, that Klopcic retrospectives have been organized in Montreal and La Rochelle.

So we have or common story, while Ivan Cankar, France Prešeren and Lojze Krakar, Kajetan Kovič and Tomaž Šalamun will never be foreign writers to me.
Yet it is the Slovenian cultural association "Cankar" and its activity which are probably most relevant in depicting the life the Slovenians in Sarajevo and the attitude of the locals towards them.
Ever since "Cankar" was set up in 1934, it has always been a truly open association which has involved many Bosnian citizens of non-Slovenian origin.
