The Tenth Brother

Summary

The Tenth Brother (Slovene: Deseti brat) a novel written by the Slovene writer Josip Jurčič, is the first novel in Slovene. It was first published in 1866 in Klagenfurt. The motif of “the tenth brother” derives from Slovenian folk tradition, reflecting the popular belief that the tenth child in a family brings misfortune, a theme also found in the folk song Desetnica (The Tenth Child). This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
