(ANSA) - LJUBLJANA / RADENCI - Boris Pahor spent his 101st birthday in Ljubljana, on August 26, speaking during the second in a series of two conferences organized in order to ''officially establish the Slovene School of Literature in Trieste''. The first, on August 19 at the San Marco Café in the regional capital town, and the second, ''on my birthday, in Ljubljana'' as he summed up in an interview with ANSA. From Radenci (on the Slovenian-Hungarian border), where he's spending some days of rest, Pahor spoke about the centuries-old tradition of Slovenian authors in Trieste, who established ''a literary trend at a European level. Among them were Primoz Truber, who published the first Slovenian books in the 16th century and was educated in Trieste by Bishop Pietro Bonomo and then, in the twentieth century, Srecko Kosovel (poet) and Vladimir Bartol (novelist). In this literary movement you can even find me and Rebula''. Pahor also spoke about his success among Italian readers in recent years, especially thanks to his novel ''Necropolis'' (Fazi, 2008). ''In my works, I've always exposed even those crimes perpetrated by the Italian fascists against the Slovenian population. It's a chapter in European history that has never been appropriately emphasised and that young people should be aware of''. Despite his age, the Slovene writer has obviously a very busy agenda.
