The book contains a selection of Kermauner's very directly written memories and portraits, created between 1975 and 1991. In them we meet both Kermauner's spiritual teachers (Vidmar, Kocbek, Mrak, Kidrič) and friends who left an indelible mark on Slovenian cultural space (Božič, Rožanc, Slodnjak), and they end with an emotional and intimate note about the father. Taras Kermauner is one of the central names of Slovenian post-war cultural and literary history. With his ideas, he constantly responded vividly to the Slovenian intellectual and literary reality, and at the same time was always a fierce polemicist. With more than a hundred books, he is one of the most prolific Slovenian authors.--Publisher's website.
