The short prose of Boris Pahor contains all the elements that determine his literary oeuvre in brief: the fascist genocide in the Slovenian regions of Primorska, the Mediterannean, his experience of exile and concentration camps, the redemptive power of love, the centrality of the female figure, the particularities of his language and style, and echoes of Italian culture. All of these allow us to place Pahor in the European literary context.
