Slovenology (Italian language) - Noah Charney

Slovenologybrings 38 witty and humorous notes from the pen of American Noah Charney, who has lived in Kamnik for many years and has closely observed the beauties and bizarreness of the land with which, as he says, he is in love. With the insight of a scientist and the poetics of an artist, the author draws the coordinates of cultural, social and political life in the subalpine land with a vivid sense for the small details of everyday life. Among other things, we read about local culinary delicacies and unusual village customs, about the passive hero of Slovenian film and living legends of sports and poetry, as well as about architectural icons and the zen of mushroom picking. The book combines memoir essays with the usefulness of a guide, so it will be enjoyed by both visitors who will venture to our region as tourists, as well as locals who will see their habits and peculiarities through completely different eyes.Slovenologyis available, together with a guide to the country, in the original English, in German, in a slightly adapted version, and also in a Slovenian translation.
