Otroške Stvari
''Otroške stvari'' is a novel by Slovenian author Lojze Kovačič. It was first published in 2003. Synopsis The novel describes the author's childhood in Basel, Switzerland. The story covers the period from 1928, which introduces the memory of birth, to 1939 or to the eleventh year of age, when Kovačič's family arrived in the Ljubljana suburbs along the Sava. The novel is based on convincingly presented memoirs with detailed outlines of spaces in which associative sensory flashes are involved. Very special is the author's formation of the child's mental and sensory perception, which takes place between a very complex reality and a blurred fantasy experience. The novel begins with memories of life in the "baby basket", followed by a short retrospective of the time before birth, followed by a long series of incidents of the stubborn, inflexible, bright child Bubi, as he was called, and his family.

Lojze Kovačič
Lojze Kovačič (9 November 1928 – 1 May 2004) was a Slovene writer. His novel ''The Newcomers'' ( sl, Prišleki) is often considered one of the most important Slovene novels of the 20th century and has been translated into German, French, Spanish, English and Dutch. Kovačič was born to a Slovene father and a German mother in Basel, Switzerland in 1928. When his patriotic father refused Swiss citizenship, his family was expelled from Switzerland in 1938 and moved first to rural Lower Carniola and then to Ljubljana, just at the outbreak of the Second World War. His father's death in 1944 shifted the burden of supporting the family onto Lojze. At the end of the war, the mere fact that they were half German made them suspicious and the whole family apart from Lojze were deported. Lojze remained despite frequent confrontations with the authorities. In 1962 he graduated in Slavic and Germanic Studies from the Faculty of Education of the University of Ljubljana. He found employme ...

The Lower Carniolan dialect group was the dialect used in the 16th century by Primož Trubar for his writings, while he also used Slovene as spoken in Ljubljana, since he lived in the city for more than 20 years. It was the speech of Ljubljana that Trubar took as a foundation of what lat ...
