THE SECRET IS CALLED ERICH ŠLOMOVIČ (Skrivnost se imenuje Erich Šlomovič) Bata, a Belgrade antique dealer who does not speak any foreign languages, chooses young Leon from Ljubljana as his assistant for deals around Europe. Bata seems to be someone who will introduce the ambitious art student into the society of elite gallerists and high earnings. This promise becomes even more tangible when in an old villa in Zagreb, whilst buying a magnificent Vienna book case, they come across a dusty catalogue of Šlomovič’s exhibition, in which there is a list of French Impressionist paintings, and others from Modigliani to Renoir, from Kandinsky to Picasso, etc. The paintings disappeared one night in 1939 when two trains collided on their way to an exhibition in Belgrade and since then their fate has been shrouded in mystery. Occasionally they appear on the art market or in articles at home and abroad, even a film has been made about them … In Pregl’s novel, however, the story about the “secret of the Šlomovič” collection, full of lies, twists, deceptions, humour, hedonism and eroticism, is for the first time told by a player who created it from within.

The life story of BORIS PAHOR (1913), a Slovene writer and centenarian, is at the same time a story about one of the most turbulent centuries in human history. With his clear standpoints and engagement, the author has always challenged current authorities and found himself in some of the most difficult situations of the 20th century. That’s How I Lived is also a story about Trieste and the lives of the people who moved there from rural areas, about the sad fates of Pahor’s patriotic friends and, of course, about his own Calvary through the Third Reich’s concentration camps. It offers an insight into Pahor’s private life, his first experiences of love and the first meetings with people with similar intellectual views and allies. The reader follows Pahor through his much-noticed conflicts with Slovene politicians and his activities on the international stage in favour of the rights of minority cultures. The narrative is supplemented with documents and photographs.

Nominated for The Kresnik Award in 2019 (Award for the best novel in Slovenia). The first body of a man is discovered by the police in a prestigious city quarter, in the villa belonging to one of the most successful lawyers in Rome. This murder is followed by a traffic accident at the other end of Rome and a suicide of a mafia boss in prison. But coincidences exist only in novels, says the chief police investigator. By examining the events behind the scenes, Pogodba, through juicy language, lively dialogues and unexpected plot twists takes the reader into the very heart of mafia activities. The detectives, prosecutors, journalists and politicians often share past connections. Their love affairs and friendships are interwoven with their professional duties, and the lines between where the state ends and the mafia begins, are very fuzzy.
