(ANSA) - TRIESTE, AUG 29 - A meeting was held in Koper, Slovenia, in tribute to Slovenian writer Boris Pahor, who passed away on May 30, 2022, in Trieste, an occasion celebrated with the reprinting of one of his syllogues, "My Trieste Address" (Moj tržaški naslov), a collection of short prose from 1948. A work that marks the beginning of his career as a storyteller and his deep connection with the city of Trieste. The meeting was attended, among others, by Secretary of State to the Prime Minister of Slovenia Vojko Volk. The event was also dedicated to the memory of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of the Nazi death camps. "The universal magisterium of Boris Pahor's writing," commented Italian Senator Tatjana Rojc, who was present at the event, "encountered the tormented history of our tortured and liberated lands, distilled it into the experience of the concentration camp and gathered its essence, transforming it into a message for each of us. Rojc, a friend and scholar of Pahor, also stressed the importance of "giving continuous life to Pahor's works through reprints, new editions and critical studies, which renew and update the contemporaneity of this landmark author for Slovenians and European culture." For the senator (Democratic Party), "this sylloge expresses the substance of what Pahor's work would have been because it tells without filters, in an essential way and without any temporal elaboration what the survivors were, the pilgrims among the shadows. It contains the imprint of the concentration experience and the beginning of the production of a great writer." (ANSA).
