Louis Adamič Memorial Room


Louis Adamic Memorial Room 2010 interior Photo Alenka Pirman.JPGThe Louis Adamič Memorial Room was established in 1956 by the Slovene Emigrant Association to commemorate his important literature contribution dealing with the social and political concerns of both his birthplace and his adopted country America

The Louis Adamič Memorial Room is housed in Praproče, the birthplace of Louis Adamič (1898–1951), a Slovene writer who spent most of his life in the USA after emigrating there in 1913 at the age of 14. Known in the United States as Adamic (a-dam'ik), his literature dealt with the social and political issues of both countries (for example, Dynamite, The Native's Return, The Eagle and the Roots).

The collections of Adamič's legacy are dispersed throughout various archives in Slovenia and the USA. The most important is the one at Princeton University (books from his own library, manuscripts and correspondence, clippings). In Slovenia, the memorial room is placed in the tower of the country mansion in Praproče, where Adamič spent his childhood.

Since 2001 UNESCO has been nominating cities to be the annual World Book Capital City and the city of Ljubljana was already the tenth. World Book Capital Ljubljana 2010 was launched on 23 April 2010 with a spectacle (an encounter of science, art and philosophy through the book) at Križanke, directed by Matjaž Berger. Throughout the year, 500 events transformed the Slovene capital into a lively and cosmopolitan city.
