Book's frontpage

Two million inhabitants in the country and another five hundred thousand Slovenes spread around other countries of the world. An economy with robust growth. A population with a strong cultural identity, different from all those around it and with a national history that began in the 1800s but has much older roots, dating back at least to when Primož Trubar, a priest who came into contact with Christian humanism and the teachings of Luther, translated part of the New Testament into Slovenian (1555), thus bringing the Protestant Reform to the shores of the Adriatic.
 
It continues on its own precise path up until the most recent chapter of Slovenian history, featuring a rapidly developing economy, in conflict with the irreversible crisis of the Yugoslav Federation, and finally the Republic of Slovenia’s proclamation of autonomy and independence, accession to the European Union and entry into the euro zone. A history that has forged ahead, looking at the future of Europe and possibly preceding it.
