Sežana
Sežana (; ) is a town in the Slovenian Littoral region of Slovenia, near the border with Italy. It is the seat of the Municipality of Sežana. Sežana is located on the Karst Plateau, from Trieste, Italy, and from Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Name Sežana was attested in written sources in 1152 as ''in Cesan'' (and as ''Ses(s)ana'' in 1293 and ''Sexana'' in 1442). The name is of unclear origin. The early transcriptions do not support a connection with Saint Susanna or with the Friulian toponym ''Susáns''. The presumed suffix ''-ana'' would indicate a Romance origin, making possible a derivation from the Latin personal name ''Sessius''. Another possibility is derivation from the estate name ''*Sextiānum'', and a Lombard origin of the name has also been suggested. In the 19th century the names ''Sessana'' and ''Sehsana'' were in official use. History Until 1918, the town was part of the Austrian monarchy ( Austrian side after the compromise of 1867), head of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Slovene Literature
Slovene literature is the literature written in Slovene. It spans across all literary genres with historically the Slovene historical fiction as the most widespread Slovene fiction genre. The Romantic 19th-century epic poetry written by the leading name of the Slovene literary canon, France Prešeren, inspired virtually all subsequent Slovene literature. Literature played an important role in the development and preservation of Slovene identity because the Slovene nation did not have its own state until 1991 after the Republic of Slovenia emerged from the breakup of Yugoslavia. Poetry, narrative prose, drama, essay, and criticism kept the Slovene language and culture alive, allowing—in the words of Anton Slodnjak—the Slovenes to become a real nation, particularly in the absence of "masculine" attributes such as political power and authority. Early literature There are accounts that cite the existence of an oral literary tradition that preceded the Slovene written l ...
