History
It was founded on the initiative of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek in Klagenfurt (present-day Austria). As a result of historical and political shifts, Mohorjeva družba relocated to Celje, while two additional branches were established in Gorizia, Italy and Klagenfurt. Today all three branches remain active.
Publishing Programme
Comprising the publishing programme of Celjska Mohorjeva družba are literature for children and adults, fiction in translation, textbooks, expert literature and handbooks covering a wide array of areas in their many collections. Through the years several acclaimed and prize-winning authors and have collaborated with the publishing house, including Tone Pavček, Alojz Rebula, and Bina Štampe Žmavc.
Of unique renown and historical importance is their regular collection, which, especially in the past, helped form Slovene cultural awareness, be it at home or with emigrants abroad. The collection features a selection of five books for all ages and tastes and the calendar of Mohor’s Society, where are chronicled all of past year’s significant events, both domestic and foreign, in addition to containing articles, discussions, poetry, and short fiction.
Zvon ("Bell") is a bimonthly magazine, whose origins go back to 1870, making it the oldest cultural publication in Slovenia. Published by Celjska Mohorjeva družba since 2006, it affords its readers a variety of artistic and expert contributions, interviews, discussions and reviews.
Other Activities
Launches of new titles are often accompanied with author presentations. Workshops, round tables, cultural and educational events and expert meetings are likewise organised by the publishing house. Slomškovo bralno priznanje ("Slomšek Reading Award") strives to stimulate reader interest among primary school pupils. The project concludes with a gathering in Ponikva, the birthplace of Anton Martin Slomšek.
