Slovenology: Living and Traveling in the World’s Best Country

"So little has been written about Slovenia (at least in English), and I remember almost inhaling this book when it first came out, as I was so hungry for insight. It’s a mashup of styles: part memoir, part guidebook and part collection of essays, and it’s certainly one of the best books to get an introduction to Slovenia. The author – Noah Charney – writes with great affection for Slovenia where he has now lived for well over a decade with his family. He speaks the language well and is genuinely interested in the exploration of Slovenia’s people and places, which makes him an ideal guide. We get to learn about different aspects of the country, for example the Slovene film industry, the Slovene writing style, Slovenian architecture and the Slovene drinking culture. Anyone with an interest in Slovenia should have this book on their shelf."
