Description: This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Zelena solza" (The green tear) by author Ivan Sivec and narrated by Igor Velše (COBISS.SI-ID 304189187, ISBN 978-961-7143-78-2). The year is 1917. The First World War is drawing to a close, but the worst ordeals are not yet over for the Jakomin family from the Karst. Following the breakthrough at Kobarid, fighting continues along the River Piave, while loss, separation and uncertainty increasingly strain family ties. As Austria-Hungary collapses and new states emerge, the members of the Jakomin family grapple with the consequences of war, painful memories and an uncertain future. Their personal stories intertwine with major historical events, from the formation of the first Slovenian government and General Maister’s struggle for the northern border to the Carinthian plebiscite and the Treaty of Rapallo. "The green tear" is the second instalment of Ivan Sivec’s historical saga, which began with Fiery smoke bush. Through the fate of a family from the Karst, the author brings to life the turbulent years between 1917 and 1920, when the end of the Great War reshaped Europe’s political map. The novel combines history, love, family tragedies and the hope of a peaceful life.
