Opis: This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Faktor X" (Factor X) by author Ivan Sivec (COBISS.ID: 273985283, ISBN: 978-961-7143-59-1). The social-psychological novel "Faktor X" by writer Ivan Sivec, subtitled Confession of a Naive Model, is a tragic story with a happy ending. Almost eighteen-year-old Maša Poglajen considers herself very mature and believes she can take care of herself. When she enters the glamorous world of modeling, it appears so beautiful to her that she is completely blinded by it. Maša soon falls into drug addiction. Photoshoots around the world and high fees repeatedly convince her of the importance of her work. Only after being raped does she realize that the fashion world is not for her, and she returns home. Her family also shows a worrying attitude toward Maša’s career. They consider it right for the girl to capitalize on her beauty on the fashion runways of Milan, London, and New York. The novel can be understood primarily as an important and serious reflection intended for girls who are tempted by such a career. For those not interested in such forms of self-affirmation, the work vividly portrays an outwardly beautiful but, behind the scenes, much harsher fashion world and the secret activities controlled mainly by middle-aged bald men.
