He is best known for his novel René mláďenca príhodi a skúsenosťi (original, modern spelling René mládenca príhody a skúsenosti), which was the first novel written in Slovak. The second volume of the novel was purchased almost entirely by church authorities; few copies of it survive. The second volume was confiscated by the church censors because it was explicitly critical of both church and secular authorities. He is buried in St. Martin's Cathedral in Bratislava.
