Books by John Bills
“This book is a dossier on 100 of the world’s greatest Slovenians (and that’s not even including Melania!). Though Slovenia has a tiny population, it has punched well above its weight in many fields – sports in particular, science, and writing as well. Did you know that the first person to ski down Mount Everest was a Slovene? Or that the first person to swim the entire length of the Amazon was a Slovene? (I have met both men and recall their fascinating characters in my book). The Slovenians details many more Slovenes who have gone beyond their borders in terms of their impact on the world; it’s well-written, laced with dry humour, and ideal for those who want to dig deeper into Slovenia’s people.” 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.
