Books by Bernadette McDonald
“As a mountain lover, I was so happy when I stumbled upon this book. McDonald, a well-known author of Alpinist literature, has expertly told the story of Slovenia’s (and some of Yugoslavia’s) most famed climbers, during the 1970s through to the 1990s. Though the book is primarily about adventures at altitude – avalanches, frostbite, and first ascents – the stories are set to a backdrop of what was happening in the country at that time, so it also offers interesting insight into everyday life in Slovenia during this era.” Read more...

The best books on Slovenia, recommended by Sam Baldwin
Slovenia has the organised, modern infrastructure of Western Europe, the laid-back lifestyle of Southern Europe, and a generous seasoning of Balkan spice—as well as a Mediterranean coastline with hot summers, Alpine mountains with snowy winters, Tuscany-like terraced vineyards, and caves like Lord of the Rings, says British writer Sam Baldwin. He recommends books to get to know the country he fell in love with and now lives in.
