The thesis focuses on Jože Javoršek's period of life influenced by his correspondence and friendship with Matej Bor. Javoršek and Bor met in a Partisan cultural group, however, based on the letters from the legacy of Matej Bor in National and University Library and the letters that are kept by Javoršek's relatives, the beginning of their correspondence seemed to have started somewhat later. Their written correspondence began in 1955 and ended in the year 1988. The letters are thematically diverse: they write to each other about their literary works and literary creation, about polemical round tables; the letters also contain political and social reflections. Their perspectives of literary (theatre) criticism and newspaper controversies are revealed. Through the letters we witness the development of their (friendly) relationship: the relation between a critic and a playwright, the relation among two co-workers; as well as everything ranging from disagreement to a close friendship. The letters not only give insight into the daily and private life of that period, but also people and places that were connecting them.
