Writer Boris Pahor signed the City of Ljubljana's Golden Book to mark his 100th birthday.

Mayor Zoran Janković and Boris Pahor marked this venerable anniversary with a meeting at the memorial to Edvard Kocbek in Tivoli Park. The VIP guest took the opportunity to sign the City of Ljubljana's Golden Book.

Boris Pahor is undoubtedly the most important Slovene writer and is also known as the voice of Slovenian literature. He is the most translated Slovene author, with first place among his translations being Pilgrim Among the Shadows, a novel about a writer's life in the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp.
Pahor is a declared anti-fascist and witness to the fascist violence against the Slovenes in Italy and the suffering in German concentration camps during the Second World War. He is also a long-term advocate for nationality as the primary social identity.
The writer was deeply marked by his concentration camp experience, which he described in his novel Pilgrim among the Shadows. The dramatisation of the novel, directed by Boris Kobal, was premiered in Ljubljana in June 2010, and in December of that year it was staged at the Verdi Theatre in Trieste.
