Published bySlovene Writers’ Association

Published twice a year by the Slovene Writers’ Association, Litterae slovenicae was launched in 1990 succeeding the former magazine Le livre slovène (1963–1990). It presents Slovene literary texts of different genres, encompassing multiple generations of both contemporary and classic writers, translated into various languages, mostly German, French, English, Russian, Italian, and Spanish. The aim of the publication is to promote Slovene literature and culture abroad.

The magazine primarily publishes original Slovene literature in translation, foregrounding single authors, genres, or periods. Some issues have also been dedicated to essays, bibliographies, reviews, and literary events, such as the Vilenica International Literary Festival. Litterae Slovenicae is of particular interest to foreign literary agents, publishers, literary critics, translators, and university professors. It is featured at international book fairs, literary festivals, universities, cultural centres, embassies, etc. Some of the themes included in the magazine have been: Contemporary Slovene Short Stories (1991, issue 79), Ten Slovenian Poets of the Nineties (2002, issue 100), Tales Growing Up into Secrets. An Anthology of Contemporary Slovene Youth Literature (2007, issue 111), and Tomaž Šalamun: When the Shadow Breaks (2011, issue 128).
