 Description

This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Moja vojna harmonika" (My war accordion) by author Aleš Šteger (COBISS ID: 273889027, ISBN: 978-961-7249-49-1). The author recounts the true story of his grandfather, Matija Zorc, in this long poem. The narrative is set during the fifty most turbulent years of the twentieth century, spanning locations from Trieste through Ljubljana to the North Sea and the Slovenske gorice region. The text is written as a rhymed narrative. The central motif is the grandfather’s black accordion, his saviour through the storms of history—everything that remains of past dilemmas and upheavals, ideologies and shadows of bygone times. This verse narrative offers a fresh perspective on established historical views and divisions, and through the story of an ordinary individual and the power of music, it raises questions of historical guilt and responsibility without relying on simplified judgments.
