Socialist Slovenia – Changes in Translation Flows

The text introduces a group of chapters focusing on translation activity during the socialist era, and provides an overview of changes in translation flows in three different periods in socialist Slovenia: in the time of the political pressure from 1945 to 1950, in the period of reforms between 1951 and 1970, and in the time of brief reactionary turn and later liberalisation from 1971 to 1991. Apart from the number of Slovene literary translations from selected languages, the most prominent translators that marked a particular period are also mentioned.
