Jakob Alešovec (pronounced [ˈjaːkɔp aˈleːʃɔʋəts];[needs tone] 24 July 1842, Skaručna – 17 October 1901, Ljubljana) was an ethnic Slovene-Austrian writer and playwright. Until 1866, Alešovec wrote in German, but later switched to Slovenian. He wrote travelogues, tales, folk plays, and satires, as well as the first Slovenian detective story.[1][2] In 1868, he published the German-language novella Laibacher Mysterien (The Mysteries of Ljubljana) inspired by Eugène Sue's Les Mystères de Paris (The Mysteries of Paris).
