Lost in the imaginary landscapes of novels and films, 22-year-old Simon Bebler learns that he is terminally ill and has at best a year to live. Now the young student wants to cram everything life has to offer into this radically reduced lifespan. Inclined to see himself in the roles of fictional heroes, he begins to live out all the stories he has read or seen on film and experience every mental and physical state a man can experience – good and bad, moral and immoral. He refuses to die feeling he has been robbed of life, so he decides to enact it with real dramatic suspense. But once the drama is set up, it quickly escapes his control and he is faced with the question of whether he can remain the hero of his adventures or sooner or later become their victim. He finds himself amidst unusual happenings in New York where he meets extraordinary people, among them Al Pacino, Woody Allen, Uma Thurman... Are they real or simply doppelgängers? The narrative merry-go-round of this philosophical thriller poses questions faster than Flisar’s characters can handle, let alone answer...
"This is a history of a space - a space between the Panonian plain in the East and the most northernmost bay in the Adriatic in the West, from the eastern Alps in the North and the Dinaridic mountain area in the South. It is also a history of all the different people who lived in this area. The authors show that the Slavs did not settle an empty space and simply replace the Celto-Roman inhabitants of earlier times; they are, on the contrary, presented as the result of reciprocal acculturation. The authors show that the Slovenes made more than two important appearances throughout the entire feudal era; the same holds for later periods, especially for the twentieth century. This book offers a concise and complete history of an area that finally became an integral part of Central Europe and the Balkans."--Pub. desc.
Šolski slovar slovenskega jezika 2021 vključuje 2042 slovarskih sestavkov in je namenjen učencem, starim od 6 do 10 let. Opisuje sistem knjižne slovenščine in zato obravnava samo leksikalne enote knjižnega jezika. Koncept slovarja temelji na uveljavljenih leksikografskih načelih. Prinaša leksikografsko utemeljen prikaz informacij, prilagojen sposobnostim in znanju najmlajših uporabnikov. Slovar obravnava le leksikalne enote knjižnega jezika in vključuje večbesedne lekseme, tako nefrazeološke kot frazeološke. Glavni vir gradiva je Korpus šolskih besedil slovenskega jezika, ki zajema učbeniška besedila, otroško literaturo izbranih avtorjev in gradivo šolskih spisov. Obravnavana leksika je tako zajeta iz besedil, ki so za otroke te starosti glavni vir novega knjižnega besedišča, ter obsega zlasti knjižni jezik leposlovja in osnovno terminologijo pri pouku obravnavanih znanstvenih in strokovnih področij, pri čemer so le-ta kar se da enakovredno zastopana. Ker Šolski slovar slovenskega jezika služi tudi kot učni pripomoček, je temeljna leksika vključena zlasti po kriterijih problemskega izbiranja (glede na pravopis, pravorečje in oblike).
