BOOK PRESENTATION: SLOVENIAN GRAZ

22.03.24

Tuesday, 26 March 2024, 17:00, Glazer Hall

Simon Ošlak-Gerasimov's book subtitled Star Moments of Slovenian Culture in the Styrian Capital: From the Naming of the City to the Establishment of the Slovenian Reading Room, will be presented by the author. The event is co-organised by the University of Maribor Library, the Maribor Austrian Reading Room, and other collaborators.

The bilingual book Slovenski Gradec/Slowenisches Graz (Slovenian Graz) narrates the history of the city through the lens of Slovenian culture and its impact on the historical evolution of the Mur metropolis. Graz shares numerous connections with Slovenia in literature, science, and commerce. As the capital of Inner Austria and a significant university hub, Graz played a pivotal role in the nurturing of Slovenian culture, with notable figures like Janez Puh and Jože Plečnik contributing significantly during their time there. The book recounts the pivotal moments of Slovenian culture in the Styrian capital, spanning from the city's christening to the establishment of the Slovenian Reading Room in 2013. Additionally, it includes a bilingual city map detailing various landmarks associated with Slovenia.
