and Lucija Štamulak, with Ona A. Čepaitytë Gams as

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.
The Vilenica Almanac
The central publication of the festival remains the
comprehensive Vilenica Almanac, which features 25 authors from
Central European and other countries. The texts are published
in the original languages, in Slovene, and in English or German
translations. A separate section is dedicated to the Vilenica
Prize winner.
