dc.description	This entry includes the first part of the e-book "Kumarca" (Cucumber) by author Franc Juteršek (COBISS.SI-ID 271887619, ISBN 978-961-7283-35-8). The novel "Kumarca" follows the lives of the residents of Prevalje during the Second World War. At the center of the story is Branko, a young apprentice from a working-class family who grapples with fear, restrictions, and the question of resistance against the German occupiers. Key characters include the older student Janko, the cautious assistant Hajni, the sensible master craftsman Franc, and Branko’s first love, Magda. The book explores themes of war, coming of age, love, community, and courageous personal choices. It is suitable for young people and adults interested in historical narratives about resistance and life under occupation. It is unique in that it is based on the memories of locals and the author's own experiences, lending the story an authentic quality. It invites the reader to reflect on freedom, courage, and humanity in difficult times. Franc Juteršek is a Slovenian writer who draws upon his personal experiences and long-standing involvement in the firefighting service. In "Kumarca", he offers a realistic portrayal of life during the occupation and emphasizes the values of courage, solidarity, and freedom.
