The author researches the reviews and references made on Emile Zola in Ljubljanski zvon during the years 1881 and 1890, when it was edited by Fran Levec. Whereas the first references are mainly tied to the reception of Zola in Croatia, Fran Celestin in his article “Naše obzorje” (“Our Horizon”; 1883) already quoted several of Zola’s typical thoughts based on the Russian translation of Lettres parisiennes, with the intention of substantiating his rejection of the aesthetics of Romanticism. However, the most important piece of writing was undoubtedly Stritar’s “Pogovori” (“Conversations”; 1885), in which the author even clearly parodied Zola’s style of writing. He was appreciative of the writer's descriptions, but rejected his literary characters, particularly the miners from Germinal; similarly to R. Kaufmann. The author discovers that Stritar's importance lies also in the criticism of the German translations of Zola since he was well aware of their shortcomings. Stritar was a relatively original reviewer; Fran Svetič, on the other hand, who was the first one in Slovenia to write also about Zola’s theoretical essays, merely copied several basic thoughts of his article “Naturalizem” (“Naturalism”; 1888) – as research discovered – from Zolling’s article “´Émile Zola und der Naturalismus” (“Emile Zola and Naturalism”). The early Slovenian reception, therefore, appreciated Zola’s feel for description, but rejected the conception of his characters.References
