Book cover of The Slovenians: 30 Years of Independence, Centuries of Awesomeness

Book description

The Slovenians have given the world everything from postage stamps to pocket calculators via a conveyer belt of revolutionaries, rebels, artists and trailblazers, including men who decided it was a good idea to ski down Everest, swim the Amazon and all the rest.

Why read it?

1 author picked The Slovenians as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Slovenia might only have two million citizens, but they've punched above their weight. Author John Bills has superbly brought 100 of the most important to our attention. I loved reading about Slovenia's world-famous endurance swimmers, Everest skiers, scientists, musicians, poets, playwrights, and more.

Laced with dry humor, this book is a must-have for Slovenophiles who want to learn more about the Slovenian people who have gone well beyond their borders and made their mark on the greater world.
