You are cordially invited to the first presentation of the new monograph: Z besedami stkana bližina: pisma družin Šušmelj in Kosič med Egiptom in Primorsko (Closeness Woven with Words: Letters of the Šušmelj and Kosič Families between Egypt and Primorska), edited by Dr. Katja Mihurko and Dr. Milan Mrđenović, recently published by the University of Nova Gorica Press

The book provides valuable insight into the intimate worlds of individuals torn between Primorska and Egypt in the first half of the 20th century. Based on personal letters, it sheds light on everyday life, emotions, and interpersonal relationships during times of migration, war, and long separations, offering a new perspective on the Alexandrian experience through the eyes of "ordinary people."

Participants: Sonja Kosič, Dr. Katja Mihurko, Dr. Milan Mrđenović, Dr. Mirjam Milharčič Hladnik, Boženka Jelarčič, Sabina Vostner
