Did you know that trees have emotions, memory and feelings, that they communicate with each other and care for each other? Amazing things happen in the forests, which the forester and 'tree whisperer' Peter Wohlleben sheds light on in his book. His book The Hidden Life of Trees, which became a global bestseller, was also given a documentary film Intelligent Trees, which offers us a unique insight into the mysterious world of trees and teaches us to admire the wonders of nature. With this realization, those living trees from The Lord of the Rings make a lot more sense.

Not only a new movie, but also a new book from the erotic Fifty Shades of Gray series. Writer EL James is already writing the book Fifty Shades Darker From Christian's Point of View, which will tell the story of the second book, Fifty Shades Darker, from the perspective of mogul Christian Grey. The author of the books Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades of Darkness and Fifty Shades Freed already did the same with the story of the first book, when she published a novel called Grey, which tells Fifty Shades of Gray through the eyes of the main male protagonist.
A new Guinness Book of Records has been published with the year 2017. Among the 4,000 new records that have further thickened this bible of records (from 1955 to the present, more than 136 million copies have been sold), there were also seven Slovenian achievements. Among other things, we now officially own the chocolate record with the largest area, the record for the longest distance traveled on a stationary bike, and the indoor 800 meter run record.
After the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has already hit Slovenian bookshelves, we have already learned when the eighth book sequel about the famous wizard will be published in Slovenian. The translation of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will bear the title Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, will be published by the beginning of the Slovenian Book Fair.
The wait is over! On Sunday, July 31, 2016, the English edition of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), the eighth book continuation of the series about the famous wizard, who anchored himself in the hearts of too many fans of fantasy films and books, will be released. The release date is no coincidence, because on this day Harry Potter, now a burnt-out bureaucrat of the Ministry of Magic, husband and father of three children already in school, celebrates his birthday. You can already pre-order the book in English, and it will be available in Slovenian bookstores from August 1, 2016. It is not yet known when Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be released in Slovenian.
There is nothing better than a vacation spent with a good book in hand. Or by smartphone or tablet. Have you run out of room for a book in your suitcase? Can't imagine a vacation without reading on the beach? Then there are Plažnice, free short stories in the form of digital books from under the keyboards of renowned Slovenian authors, perfect for a summer break. You won't run out of new stories this summer, even if you ran out of space in your suitcase! Nova Plažnica is published every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday until mid-September. Great ideas for summer reading!
For the summer reading corner, i.e. the books that we will take with us on vacation, we have prepared exceptional books that will impress even the most demanding readers. So which books should we read this summer?
The covers of books and magazines are decorated with various motifs. Faces and other parts of the body can also be found on many of them. And when you hold the book in front of your head while reading, many of the covers come to life. Check out a fun photo gallery of optical illusions with people holding or read a book/magazine with the right cover at the right time.
School will soon be over, and for all book lovers, the long-awaited period will begin when you can finally turn your attention to more interesting and attractive worlds instead of school literature. Although your must-read list is probably growing faster than you can shrink it, we still have a few must-read titles for you. The best dystopian novels of all time will spice up your summer, no matter where you spend it.
There is nothing nicer than when we crawl under the sheets with a book in hand on cold autumn and winter days, or when we take refuge under the canopy, in a hammock or on the beach in the shade of the sun on hot summer days. We can read anywhere and anytime. At the table, standing, on the train, on a bench in the park, but there is no more than a comfortable corner where you can disconnect from the outside world and completely immerse yourself in your own world. And if these aren't the dream reading nooks you'll see below, then they don't exist!
Most of us see the true value of books in their content. But not artist Jacqueline Rush Lee. He creates incredible sculptures of organic and abstract shapes from books (old and in poor condition). Excellent!
Good books, like any good art, are a mirror of life. And as such, they are often an important inspiration for those who immerse themselves in their mysterious world. Fantasy and science fiction books are a particularly important source of inspiration for the film industry. The strict regimes of dystopian societies, magical creatures and journeys to other galaxies are stories that always attract both readers and viewers. We present to you a list of ten fantasy and science fiction books that we expect to see in film form soon.
