france prešeren -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- 2 or 3 december 1800 -- 8 february 1849 -rrb- was a 19th-century romantic slovene poet , best known as the poet who has inspired virtually all later slovene literature and has been generally acknowledged as the greatest slovene classical author .
he wrote some high quality epic poetry , for example the first slovene ballad and the slovene national epic .
after death , he became the leading name of the slovene literary canon .
he tied together the motifs of his own unhappy love with that of an unhappy , subjugated homeland .
especially after world war ii in the slovene lands , one of prešeren 's motifs , the `` hostile fortune '' , has been adopted by slovenes as a national myth , and prešeren has been described being as ubiquitous as the air in slovene culture .
during his lifetime , prešeren lived in conflict with both the civil and religious establishment , as well as with the provincial bourgeoisie of ljubljana .
he fell victim to severe drinking problems and tried to take his life on at least two occasions , facing rejections and seeing most of his closest friends die tragically .
his lyrical poetry dealt with the love towards his homeland , the suffering humanity , as well as his unfulfilled love towards his muse , julija primic .
although he wrote in slovene , some poems were written in german , too .
as he lived in carniola , he at first regarded himself a carniolan , but gradually took the broader slovene identity .
his poems has been translated into english , french , german , italian , spanish , hungarian , slovak , polish , russian , ukrainian , belorussian , bengali , as well as to all the languages of former yugoslavia , and in 2013 a complete collection of his `` poezije '' -lrb- poems -rrb- was translated to french .
