        We love books about everything and can’t get enough of them. Because books are much more than letters and colours on paper. Books are adventures, experiences and feelings. In books you can find friends, like-minded people or evil villains against whom you can defend yourself. Every time you read a book, a spark of magic jumps over into our “real” life and enriches it. As passionate graphic designers we not only care about stories, but also about the beauty, diversity and creativity of a book. We love to invent new fantasy worlds and to design figures. We also want our stories to make you smile and invite you to immerse yourself in unknown worlds and simply give you pleasure.

        Alone in the ocean

        He swam 100 km in the ocean among sharks. Three days, without water, food and sleep. In the middle of the storm and the burning sun. He was running from the USSR, but rather he was running towards his dream, which he fulfilled. He is one of us who has crossed the line beyond which there is no suffering.

        Dobrudja

        German Settlers between the Danube and the Black Sea

        by Josef Sallanz

        The historical region between the Danube delta and the mountainous landscape Ludogorie today is structured as a result of the demarcation of 1940 which divided the region into the North Dobrudja in Romania and the South Dobrudja in Bulgaria. Since ancient times, people have roamed the steppes at the Black Sea towards the south and left a mixture of languages, denominations and everyday culture. From the 7th century BC Greek sailors founded trading colonies on the coast such as Tomis, the present day Constanta, Romanian Constanţa. After 500 years under Ottoman rule in the middle of the 19th century the first Germans came from Bessarabia, bordering the Danube to the north, from the governorate Kherson, from Poland, Volhynia, Galicia and the Caucasus. Reasons were land scarcity, loss of privileges and a intensified russification policy. Today in the Dobrudja live Tatars, Bulgarians, Turks, Lipovans, Ukrainians, Greeks, Germans and Roma next to more than ninety percent Romanians. The historian Josef Sallanz shows which cultural traditions still today shape the region.

        LITTLE ALMA ON A GREAT JOURNEY

        by HUIQIN WANG AND MILAN DEKLEVA

        LITTLE ALMA ON A GREAT JOURNEY NOMINATED FOR THE BEST PICTURE BOOK IN SLOVENIA IN 2020 (THE KRISTINA BRENKOVA AWARD) Written by Huiqin Wang and Milan DeklevaIllustrations by Huiqin Wang This picture book (in two languages) about Alma Karlin is by painter Huiqin Wang – both of them strong women artists. Slovenian-Chinese painter Huiquin Wang pays tribute to Alma Maksimiljan Karlin, one of the best known and most courageous Slovenian women, on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Karlin’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the start of her journey around the world. Poet, writer and translator Milan Dekleva authors the text accompanying the pictures, addressing both children and adults as his audience. The picture book takes us on a journey with Alma to distant worlds and far corners of the globe: from London across Italy to South America, then to Japan and all the way to the first homeland of the painter, to China. In a poetic manner the pictures draw us into a mysterious world full of adventure. The picture book is an artistic expression of Alma’s impressions. Alma spent eight years travelling, spoke ten languages, learned about local ways of life, observed and recorded their habits, customs, and traditions. She wrote abouteverything she observed and after returning home to Celje, she gave lectures and devoted herself to writing stories, novels, and poems. Huiqin Wang’s fourth picture book, this story expresses the power and attraction of little Alma on her great journey. Those who think only of themselves go through life alone and abandoned; those who know how to adapt with love and turn things around to a happy ending, who are always willing to come to the aid of others and share with them—for such people, life is a flourishing meadow and the traces of their work live on even after death. (Alma Maksimilijana Karlin, Under the Bushy Eyebrow, 1938) Format: 20.5 x 26 cm | 32 pages | Age: 5+

        THE PARTISANS

        by JOŽE PIRJEVEC

        This long-awaited book is the first to contain a comprehensive account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which occupiers and Quislings tried to erase from the map of Europe in 1941. The book contains a considerable amount of information obtained by the author through research in archives in London, Washington, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki and Moscow which to date has remained unknown since some parts of the archives were only opened recently. This extensive monograph is without a doubt Dr. Pirjevec’s life’s work. It is the first comprehensive and synthetic account of the emergence and development of the Partisan movement in the whole of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from the attack on and disintegration of Yugoslavia in April 1941 up until the end of the war. The author describes the strained relations within the movement, as well as the relations between the Partisans and other military formations (White Guards, Chetniks, Ustashe, Ballists, etc.) and between the Partisans and allies in the anti-Hitler coalition. The book demonstrates that there would have been no national liberation movement without the Communists and their utopian belief that they would create a better future, without their fanaticism, organization and discipline. Above all, the Yugoslav Partisan movement contributed significantly to the defeat of the Third Reich and its satellites and brought victory to the Yugoslav nations. Serbs, Montenegrins and Croats were saved from the shame of collaborationism, and Slovenes and Macedonians were also recognized as European nations with mapped out borders and statehood.
