Erotika by Ivan Cankar
"Erotika" by Ivan Cankar is a poetry collection first published in 1899. This groundbreaking work challenged conservative norms with its bold exploration of sensual love and erotic themes. The collection's controversial content led to the burning of 700 copies by church authorities, prompting Cankar to defiantly republish it in 1902. Through three cycles of lyric poems—featuring idealized love, passionate encounters, and decadent Viennese nightlife—Cankar pushed Slovenian love poetry beyond traditional boundaries, marking
a decisive break with nineteenth-century restraint and establishing modern literary sensibilities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
