Prešeren's contemporary and friend,
as well as a literary colleague. He was the son of a wealthy
innkeeper, but his main interest was literature and the
development of the Slovene language and culture. A freethinker
and a lively character, who had to leave Ljubljana because
of his debts and folly. He used to collect folk literature
and also, together with Prešeren, published it. They planned
to start publishing a Slovene newspaper, but before they
could do this, Smole died due to illness and the rather
debauched life he had led. |
