Works

As a writer, he mainly wrote novels and short stories. Stylistically, his works in the 1930s belonged to social realism, among whose leading representatives such as Prežihov Voranc and Ciril Kosmač he was also one. After the Second World War, he submitted to socialist realism , the officially propagated literary movement of communist Yugoslavia . Ingolič wrote primarily about the Slovenian people and described the lives of artisans, farmers and factory workers who otherwise received little attention in literature.
