In 1689, the polymath Johann Weichard Valvasor printed the work “Die Ehre deß Herzogthums Crain”, for which he had been preparing for more than ten years. He bound all his encyclopaedic knowledge about historical events, social customs, geographical features, nobles, castles, churches and cities that he collected in the area he considered Carniola, into a book of 3532 pages and furnished it with 528 copperplates and 24 appendices.
Since a printing house that could prepare both pictorial and written material did not exist in Carniola at that time, he founded a graphic workshop and copper engraving printing house in his castle, Bogenšperk, and together with a number of associates, who lived with him for years, lovingly prepared this magnificent work. The venture impoverished him so much that shortly after printing he was forced to sell off almost all of his noble property.
Today, in his honour, we celebrate 333 years since the book was printed.

Book Fair(y) in Istria was born in 1995 out of a bold gesture of one man to call a small book exhibition ‘at the end of the world’ the 1st Book Fair(y) in Istria. Today’s festival of books and authors is relevant and acknowledged on the Croatian, European and global level, original and authentic in its ways of presenting book-related content, in opening a space for a dialogue between authors and authors, between authors and readers, in setting cornerstones for an evaluation of tradition and contemporaneity. Therefore and moreover, as a fatal place of faith in oneself.
The Fair(y) displays titles published by over 200 publishers from Croatia and other countries, and books and hundreds of events attract up to 60,000 visitors.
Discussions, symposiums, panels and roundtables, exhibitions, concerts and theatre performances gather dozens of creative voices, many of which have become part of the cultural memory of the city which does not lack in culture of memory:
Umberto Eco, Orhan Pamuk, Péter Esterházy, Luko Paljetak, Claudio Magris, Alī Aḥmad Sa‘īd Asbar – Adonis, Irvin Welsh, Tess Gallagher, Nedjeljko Fabrio, Jiří Menzel, Alberto Manguel, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Mirko Kovač, Daniel Dennett, Dragutin Tadijanović, Ece Temelkuran, Tatyana Tolstaya, Alexander Genis, Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, Oksana Zabuzhko, Erri De Luca…

When the temperature drops close to zero during a winter walk, it\'s time for frozen noses to turn red and hands to thaw, and where better to achieve this than in a tavern by the fireplace together with - local, Istrian cabbage!
As a side dish or on its own, sour and especially tasty with dry meat dishes, cabbage will satisfy even the most refined palates and warm even the most frozen. Therefore, hurry to a nearby tavern, restaurant or farm where the finest cabbage delicacies await you!
