Tuma Publishing House


Tuma Publishing House was founded in 1997 and has published over 300 titles in its first thirteen years. Its publishing programme is very versatile. The recent book, Skrivni knjižni zakladi [Secret treasures of monastery and church libraries in Slovenia] (2009), published in cooperation with National and University Library, celebrated the millennium of librarianship in Slovenia.

In 2007 another important title was published in collaboration with the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU) Pozabljena polovica [The Forgotten Half], dedicated to the lives of 130 of the most important women from all fields of social and artistic activities in Slovenia from the past two centuries. Between 2003 and 2007 the most prominent and important project was the Anthology of Slovene Poetesses (in three parts).

The Days of Poetry and Wine Festival is a festival that hosts the younger generation of poets from all over the world. Up to 2009 it took place in Medana (a village in Goriška Brda next to the Italian border) during the last week in August, basically turning the village into the poetry capital of Europe for a week. In 2010 the 14th edition of the festival moves to Ptuj, a historical town of Roman origin in eastern Slovenia, one of regional partner cities of Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012. Since then the festival takes place in Ptuj. It is run by Beletrina Publishing Institute.
