I havent read this book (sorry for rating), but i know France Preseren very well. He is the greatest Slovenia poet and his poetry showed the whole world, that such a small country such as Slovenia can have poetry, wich can easily compare to any other world literature. So it doesnt matter who was Preseren, what does matter is his work, and his work is fantastic. SO take a litle time and read some of his works, because he is the greates Slovenian romantic pomen and one of the best romantic world poems. He is not well known, but he deserves to be.

A very depessed man, France Preseren spent most of his life, wanting and yearning for a better life. Not only unhappy in love, also unwelcome at home, in his state, where he did not support some of the leading politicians and writers, he found himself alone and left to his poems. But in the end, they are left to us to understand them and to remember him as a great author, that could say a lot with one phrase. Unfortunately, people that read him too anxiously can become themselves very depressed. So take you space.
