Ariela Herček's collection Delicate Tongue is a bilingual book of poetry that explores the personal and linguistic divide between English and Slovenian through self-translation. In an intimate interweaving of verses, the poet reveals inner struggles, longings, loves, and loneliness, while maintaining a sensitive confessional line.

In the book, subtitled Hunting for Books in South Asia, he merges both into a unified narrative that blends essayistic reflection with a personal travel account. His trips to South Asia, and especially to India, have often been prompted by invitations to literary festivals, after which he extends his stays to explore less-visited places and meet both local characters and unusual expatriates. For decades, he has been searching across the region for second-hand English bookshops and exchange stalls, engaging with the enthusiasts who keep these literary outposts alive. Along the way, he occasionally comes across books that he later publishes in his role as an editor.

The book is a description of the Camino pilgrimage route, which the author Toni undertook as an act of gratitude after their child recovered from cancer and became one of the “Heroes of the 3rd Floor.” The book is a tribute to all of them. Despite the difficult ordeal, Toni manages to make readers laugh, find the good in things, and truly enjoy every single day of life. That’s why he infused the book with lightness and humor.

With the book Nature sanctuaries, Irena Cerar, the author of popular hiking guides, set herself a very special challenge: she spent seven weeks in nature, experiencing each of Slovenia’s most characteristic habitats (forests, caves, mountains, wetlands, rivers, the seacoast, and cultural landscapes) firsthand. Not merely as a casual hiker or traveler, but as a careful and attentive observer.

The corpus encompasses a diverse range of materials, including the Qur’an and the ḥadīth collections Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Saḥīḥ Muslim, as well as several significant historical works, such as al-Ṭabarī’s Kitāb Tārīkh al-rusul wa-l-mulūk and Ibn Taghrībirdī’s Kitāb al-Nujūm al-zāhira fī mulūk Miṣr wa-l-Qāhira. The corpus also incorporates adab texts by al-Jāhiẓ, notably his Rasāʾil, and Ibn al-Jawzī’s al-Mudhish. The DiCCAS corpus is encoded using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines which gives the structure of the corpus and marks disaster related words. It is also available in vertical format, which adds linguistic annotations, i.e. tokenisation, lemmatisations and PoS tagging.

Many believe that the writer Ivan Sivec is one of the rare masters of short stories, or novellas. That this is indeed true is also confirmed by the readership of such books. Readers are presented with the fifth collection of Sivec’s novellas, titled Blooming Slovenia, with the subtitle Seven Paths to Heaven. In fact, the latter expression is mainly ironic, and the stories could just as well be subtitled Seven Paths to Hell. Over the past thirty years, Slovenia has made significant progress, but in many respects it has also “blossomed” in a negative sense.

Despite its slightly greater length, the new young adult novel by Nejka Omahen Šikonja is read in one sitting, as the author immediately draws us into the complex and at times tense emotional world of her characters, who are at yet another turning point in their lives—approaching the end of primary school and their graduation celebration.

In this book, writer Ivan Sivec continues his popular and widely read series of historical novels titled Slovene Castle Stories. In volume 6, in the book Love by the Kolpa, he stops at Kostel Castle and the valley along the Kolpa River, where a great love between Marija from the left bank—the green-eyed beauty—and Martin from the right bank gives birth to a son, Mikula. Mikula follows a legendary path: from a communal herdsman to a peddler, from a livestock transporter to a salt smuggler, from a peddler to a castle scribe, from a bailiff to a lover, from a warrior to a legendary victor over the Turks. The book portrays the turbulent 16th century, when the Kostel Valley was frequently invaded by the Turks, when many Uskoks settled on the left bank, and when the second great peasant revolt broke out on Slovene soil. Particularly exciting is Mikula’s encounter with Primož Trubar, the author of the first Slovene books, the smuggling of books into the country, and Mikula’s triumphant campaigns against the Turks in 1578 and 1593. In all cases, however, one theme stands in the foreground—love.

Comprising over 16,000 question-answer pairs, the corpus shifts away from general knowledge to focus on high-quality lexicographic data, including morphology, lemmatization, and part-of-speech identification. It serves as a critical resource for fine-tuning models to act as sophisticated linguistic assistants. The dataset integrates diverse sources, ranging from automatically generated content based on the Digital Dictionary Database of Slovene (DDDS) to manual expert advice from the Jezikovna svetovalnica portal. This hybrid approach ensures a robust mix of systematic grammatical queries and nuanced, real-world linguistic explanations. With a significant portion of the data derived from annotated linguistic corpora like SSJ500k, the dataset provides a reliable foundation for training models in both context-free definitions and context-dependent usage scenarios. Technically, the corpus is structured for high utility in machine learning workflows, featuring a 90/10 training and test split with metadata for each entry. It categorizes questions into specific types such as definitions and usage examples, allowing researchers to perform targeted domain adaptation. By providing clear links between questions and specific lexemes, the corpus enables precise evaluation of a model's ability to navigate the formal rules and practical applications of the Slovene lexicon.

The world is a wonderful and fascinating place—we know that. But when Branko Gradišnik wanders through it, this fact is revealed to us again and again in new and unexpected ways. And this time is no different—Branko’s foot sets down in Cuba, the island of music and dance and a land of extraordinary beauty and an uncountable number of Olympic champions. Gradišnik intertwines and blends all of this with a solid dose of insights from the fields of ketosis, life analytics, and flirtology, serving up his Cuba as a top-tier travelogue dish, seasoned with countless stories. However, there is something slightly different this time: in Cuba, Branko meets someone who is (almost?) his equal in the ancient art of storytelling and spinning tales. What lesson can we draw from this? Sometimes you have to travel to the other side of the world to meet a truly talkative Styrian. So, meet Cuba à la Branko Gradišnik and Deni Hedžet.
