        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT

        by VLADIMIR P. ŠTEFANEC

        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT (Najlepša neznanka svetloba) The novel’s starting point is six portraits on the desk of the main character. These photographs show the people closest to him, with whom his life to date, its determinants, longings, regrets, captivity, the possibility of liberation, has been connected. Through fragments of memory, their stories are woven into a common story about their past, torn between the seemingly carefree life in the late nineteenth century until the 1920s, when the looming shadows of world events reached Slovenia. In this novel about liberation achieved through the clearing of an individual’s past and his family’s, about everyday melancholy and the melancholy of everyday life, which nevertheless includes some of what makes life exciting and precious, the main character keeps wondering what distance to choose for the best photographic result, as well as how close to let someone come without letting them penetrate his isolation.

        by SLAVKO PREGL AND LEON POGELŠEK

        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.
