The third volume of the Vilenica Anthologies series, edited by Jana
Unuk and focused on less familiar European literatures, bears the
title Artuma ('closeness' in Lithuanian) and is dedicated to
contemporary Lithuanian literature. The anthology, compiled and
edited by Bernarda Pavlovec Žumer, presents eighteen authors:
Antanas Škëma, Vytautas P. Bložë, Tomas Venclova, Alfonsas
Andriuškevičius, Sigitas Geda, Ričardas Gavelis, Nijolë
Miliauskaitë, Juozas Šikšnelis, Kornelijus Platelis, Antanas A.
Jonynas, Birutė Jonuškaitė, Eugenijus Ališanka, Jurga Ivanauskaitë,
Sigitas Parulskis, Herkus Kunčius, Alvydas Šlepikas, Sonata
Paliulytë, and Marius Ivaškevičius. The Slovene translations have
been provided by Bernarda Pavlovec Žumer and Lucija Štamulak, with
Ona A. Čepaitytë Gams as the language consultant. The author of the
accompanying study, which traces the development of Lithuanian
literature from the first book in 1547 until now, is Kornelijus
Platelis – poet, translator, essayist, and consultant to the
Vilenica jury. The visual design of the book, which was published
with the support of the following institutions: Books from
Lithuania, Literature Across Frontiers, and the Embassy of Lithuania
in Ljubljana, matches the overall design of the series, the cover
featuring a picture by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, a
recognised Lithuanian artist.
From the foreword of the editor, Bernarda Pavlovec Žumer:
"A look at Lithuanian literary history and a comparison with its
Slovene counterpart reveals unexpected parallels with this
geographically remote northern nation. Like ours, their literary
development begins with Protestantism, with the catechism and
alphabet book; literary periods reach both of us with a delay;
literature, especially patriotic, preserves and encourages the
readers' national consciousness and is deeply rooted among the
people. In addition, lively literary activity takes place abroad
among emigrants. Like the Slovenes, the Lithuanians are considered a
nation of poets, and they like to parade before strangers the saying
that each pencil in Lithuania has its poet /…/. The selection seeks
to introduce both contemporary Lithuanian literature and Lithuania
itself, to bring to the reader a piece of this country, of the
Lithuanian national mentality."
