The story seems to center on Lovre Kvas, a young, educated but humble man who takes a tutoring position for a wealthy family at the Slemenice estate. The novel appears to explore themes of social standing, rural and gentry life, and introduces a cast of vivid, distinctly Slovenian characters. As the title hints, there is also an air of local folklore and mystery woven into the narrative through figures like the "deseti brat." The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Slovenian rural life by beginning in an inn, where diverse local personalities, such as the innkeeper Peharček and the eccentric "deseti brat" Mrtinek Spak, provide an immediate sense of place and character. Lovre Kvas, a hardworking and introspective young man from a modest background, sets out to begin his new post as a tutor in a local manor. Along his journey, he meets various locals, including a mysterious man known as the "deseti brat," who is surrounded by superstition and legend. Upon arriving at the manor, Lovre is warmly received by the family and their acquaintances, and the opening chapters establish the relationships, setting, and tone for a narrative blending everyday realities with elements of Slovenian tradition and rural folklore.
