        Cuentos caninos de Aleksnadr Kuprín

        by Kuprín, Aleksander

        Surprising, authentic and picturesque - such is the world of animals in the works of Aleksandr Kuprin, one of the greats of Russian literature, which have been translated into many languages, including Spanish. Indeed, very few artists know how to recreate with such veracity the habits, temperament and loyalty of dogs. Kuprin knew how to do it thanks to his exceptional multiform talent, sensitivity and love for nature, leaving us a rich legacy of dog stories, most of which are collected in this collection. The humanitarianism felt in them is due to the writer's unconditional attachment to man's best friends: he tamed them, he healed and protected them when they were threatened, he cultivated the feelings of kindness and compassion that are equally important in all types of readers, whether children or adults.

        Ni druge/None Like Her

        by Jela Krečič

        Matjaž fears losing his friends over his obsession with his ex-girlfriend. To prove that he has moved on from his relationship with her, he embarks on a comical odyssey of dates around Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Each chapter is devoted to each new encounter and adventure. The women Matjaž selects are wildly different from one another, and the interactions of the characters are perspicuously and memorably observed. On his adventures, Matjaž repeatedly struggles with the apparent fact that there is “none like her” out there. Or is there? The characters’ preoccupations – brilliantly sketched through sparkling dialogue – will speak directly to Generation Y, and in Matjaž, the hero, Jela Krečič has created a well-observed crypto-misogynist of the 21st century whose behaviour she offers up for the reader’s scrutiny.None Like Her has been described as the literary equivalent of a Hollywood romantic comedy that in spite of its breezy tone touches upon social criticism, portraying the spirit of the times through the characters’ lively and often humorous discussions on the phenomena of modern society, politics, Marxism, celebrity, ecology, etc.

        THE PARTISANS

        by JOŽE PIRJEVEC

        This long-awaited book is the first to contain a comprehensive account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which occupiers and Quislings tried to erase from the map of Europe in 1941. The book contains a considerable amount of information obtained by the author through research in archives in London, Washington, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki and Moscow which to date has remained unknown since some parts of the archives were only opened recently. This extensive monograph is without a doubt Dr. Pirjevec’s life’s work. It is the first comprehensive and synthetic account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the whole of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from the attack on and disintegration of Yugoslavia in April 1941 up until the end of the war. The author describes the strained relations within the movement, as well as the relations between the Partisans and other military formations (White Guards, Chetniks, Ustashe, Ballists, etc.) and between the Partisans and allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The book demonstrates that there would have been no national liberation movement without the Communists and their utopian belief that they would create a better future, without their fanaticism, organization and discipline. Above all, the Yugoslav Partisan movement contributed significantly to the defeat of the Third Reich and its satellites and brought victory to the Yugoslav nations. Serbs, Montenegrins and Croats were saved from the shame of collaborationism, and Slovenes and Macedonians were also recognized as European nations with mapped out borders and statehood.

        The Church

        by Avgust Demšar

        The Church is a typical whodunnit crime novel. The crimes once again take place in native Slovenian surroundings, mostly in the fictitious village of Vodnjaki, where it seems that a special type of evil resides. The tenth, jubilee novel by Demšar is more extensive, the story is more complex and the side stories are even more surprising. The author lures us into a whirlwind of events and holds the reader in suspense even when he delves into the relationships between his mainstay characters known from his previous novels and their characterisation. The rising action that triggers further events is the murder of a high-level church dignitary. Even before the criminal investigators can get down to work, new murders and crimes are reported. In addition to the main storyline, Demšar touches on many different current social issues. This intensely suspenseful read full of intellectual challenges leads the reader on a path to solving an exceptionally complex case.

        BORIS PAHOR - THAT'S HOW I LIVED

        STOLETJE BORISA PAHORJA

        by TATJANA ROJC

        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.
