The book opens dimensions of justice and redemption. It compares Cankar's works with those of Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Ibsen, Hauptmann and the Bible. Compassion and love, especially for the weak, are greater than exigencies of justice. In his last works he offers a vision of redemption for all suffering people during the First World War.
