100 Slavic Novels
The 100 Slavic Novels series is an international literary programme promoting contemporary Slavic literature written after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The collection represents a highly successful example of literary exchange among the Slavic cultures, establishing close ties among Slavic writers, translators and readers. With a well thought-out selection of the twelve best novels from the participating countries – Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, the Russian Federation Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia – it fills a literary gap in modern Slavic literature and breathes new life into the Slavic literary world.
100 Slavic Novels is much more than just a literary series, it is a project that brings together authors, translators and literary professionals, and is dedicated to their presentation and promotion.
“The initiators of the 100 Slavic Novels collection only hoped that it would not be another stillborn idea. We were aware that the Slavic world was fragmented enough, if not even split, that even the best of ideas could be shattered on the rocks of reality. We were driven by the belief that, despite all the differences, we belong to the same identity circle and that we therefore have something to say to each other. Among various literary expressions, we chose the novel. This literary genre at least in the traditional sense, articulates the totality of the world. We wanted to find out more about each other through the novels. We spent the years after the fall of communism in a kind of mutual ignorance as if ashamed of the poverty of our nephews and ourselves. Nowadays, Slavic novels have found their common home.”
Mitja Čander First Editor-in-Chief of 100 Slavic Novels

Fair in the Air
The FSC took the 100 Slavic Novels collection and the monograph At the Table with the Slavs to the Fair in the Air, a book fair that took place in four Slovenian cities and was organised by Ljubljana, UNESCO City of Literature Office and partners during Slovenian Book Days.
STORY
The idea for a project that would promote Slavic literatures came about at the beginning of a new millennium. In 2006, the 100 Slavic Novels collection was born. Its first aim was to promote and popularize contemporary Slavic literatures in other Slavic languages since the cultural ties were broken after the tectonic historical changes at the end of the 20th century.
At the initial meetings of international working group, the novel was chosen as one of most popular and all-encompassing literary genres and a period was selected – the time after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The collection soon got its well-thought out minimalist and unifying design and a number of partners – publishing houses in individual countries that took care of publication and promotion.
In 2016, the 100 Slavic Novels project celebrated its 10th anniversary with a high-profile literary event in Ljubljana featuring 8 Slavic writers from 8 different countries and 6 publishers and an exhibition that was first on display at the UNESCO palace in Paris.
