The first volume of this three-part autobiographical series begins in 1938 with the expulsion of the Kovacic family from their home of Switzerland, eventually leading to their settlement in the father's home country of Slovenia. Narrated by Kovacic as a ten-year-old boy, he describes his family's journey with uncanny naiveté. Before leaving their home, he imagines his father's home country as something beautiful out of a fairytale, but as they make their way toward exile, he and his family realize that any attempt to make a home in Slovenia will be in vain. Confronted by misery, hunger, and hostility, the young boy refuses to learn Slovenian and falls silent, his surroundings becoming a social, cultural and mental abyss. Kovačič meticulously, boldly, and sincerely portrays the objective, everyday world; the style is clear and direct. Told from the point of view of a child, one memory is interrupted by fragments and visions of another. Some are innocent and tender, while others are miserable and ruthless, resulting in a profound and heart-wrenching description of a period torn apart by conflict, reflected in the author's powerful and innovative command of language.

To je prvi atlas takšne vrste v Sloveniji. V njem so najprej v člankih opisana obdobja, ki so jih izbrani slovenski književniki od protestantizma do sodobnosti preživeli v Ljubljani. Pokaže se paleta nasprotujočih si literarnih in nazorskih usmeritev ter burno družbeno dogajanje v slovenski prestolnici. Številčne oznake krajev, ki so omenjeni v člankih (avtor besedila je Marjan Dolgan), pa bralcu omogočajo, da na priloženih zemljevidih Ljubljane (avtorici Jerneja Fridl in Manca Volk) najde kraje, kjer so književniki prebivali, se šolali, delali, umirali in kjer so jih pokopali. Ne manjkajo niti lokali, v katerih so se zabavali, niti zapori, v katere so jih tlačili oblastniki. ...

Necropolis

Boris Pahor spent the last fourteen months of World War II as a prisoner and medic in the Nazi camps at Bergen-Belsen, Harzungen, Dachau and Natzweiler-Struthof. Twenty years later, as he visited the preserved remains of a camp, his experiences came back to him: the emaciated prisoners; the ragged, zebra-striped uniforms; the infirmary reeking of dysentery and death. Necropolis is Pahor’s stirring account of providing medical aid to prisoners in the face of the utter brutality of the camps – and coming to terms with the guilt of surviving when millions did not. It is a classic account of the Holocaust and a powerful act of remembrance.
