Zvočna knjiga kratkegasimbolističnega romana Na klancu Ivana Cankarja, ki je tudi letošnjematuritetno branje, v marsičem prinaša zgodbo avtorjeve matere in njenedružine. Pisatelj jo je umetniško preoblikoval v simbolni tek za vozom vsehljudi, zaznamovanih s trpljenjem na klancu siromakov in njihovim hrepenenjem posreči. „Francka, poniževana in zasmehovana, sprijaznjena, a kljub temu močna inžilava, na svojem hrbtu ne nosi le treh, ampak vse štiri vogale uborne bajte naklancu siromakov in še kakšnega za povrh. Življenje ji uhaja, na vso moč tečeza njim, »a voz je šel dalje in izginil v gozdu«. Ob Francki pa v kratkemromanu zaživijo tudi drugi iz njene družine, mož in otroci, ujeti v svojesocialno okolje. »Vsi drug za drugim so odhajali, vsak si je odrezal koščeknjenega srca; in vračali so se bolni in ubogi, legli so in so umrli,«“ je odelu zapisal literarni urednik Vlado Motnikar. V zvočni knjigi romaninterpretira dramski igralec Matej Puc, za režijo je poskrbel Klemen Markovčič,tonska mojstra pa sta bila Urban Gruden in Sonja Strenar.

The audiobook of the short symbolist novel Naklancu (On the Hill) by Ivan Cankar, which is also part of this year’s maturareading list, in many ways conveys the story of the author’s mother and herfamily. The writer artistically transformed it into a symbolic chase after thecart of all people marked by suffering on the hill of the poor and by theirlonging for happiness. “Francka, humiliated and ridiculed, resigned yet strongand resilient, carries not just three but all four corners of the wretched huton the hill of the poor — and perhaps even a few more besides. Life slips awayfrom her, she runs after it with all her might, ‘but the cart went on anddisappeared into the forest.’ Alongside Francka, other members of her family —her husband and children — also come to life in the short novel, trapped intheir social circumstances. ‘One by one they left, each cutting off a piece ofher heart; and they returned sick and destitute, lay down and died,’” wrote literaryeditor Vlado Motnikar about the work. In the audiobook, the novel isinterpreted by stage actor Matej Puc, directed by Klemen Markovčič, with soundengineers Urban Gruden and Sonja Strenar.
