Martin Kukučin: Pioneer of Slovak Realism

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 June 2017

Extract

Two Decades Ago, in 1923, the Slovak Academy of Arts and Sciences known as Matica Slovenská, celebrated its sixtieth anniversary. Present at the international convention of this body held in the Slovak cultural capital of Turčianský Svätý Martin was the figure with whom we have here to deal, Martin Kukučin.

A man of sixty-three at the time, a distinguished physician known for his unselfish labors in three countries and on two continents, to say nothing of being the reigning figure in Slovak letters, Kukučin was one of the half dozen stars of this stellar occasion.
