Keď Báčik Z Chochoľova Umrie by Martin Kukučín

A gentle, ironic portrait of life in a small mountain village centered on an elderly, well-to-do rural bachelor whose disappearance and supposed death reveal the private ambitions, hypocrisies and true loyalties of relatives and neighbors; through vivid folk detail and understated humor the story both celebrates local customs and criticizes social pretensions and human weakness.
