The novel depicts the stunning stories of wealthy noblewomen in both spiritual advantages and disadvantages. Above all, the stories of the Protestant apostate, the separation after the Medieval, the hushed love, the gold mine, the herbal miracle and the mysteries of St. John the Baptist are heartbreaking.

življenjske zgodbe mekinjskih klaris
ob 19.00 | v knjigarni
Priljubljeni in plodoviti slovenski pisatelj Ivan Sivec v novem romanu razgrinja življenjsko zgodbo klaris iz Samostana Mekinje pri Kamniku, s poudarkom na najbolj prepoznavni, dobrotljivi in razsvetljeni opatinji Doroteji Sidoniji Gallenberg (1664-1728). V leposlovju je bila v preteklih desetletjih samostanska dejavnost precej spregledana, pa čeprav gre za večstoletna duhovna središča, izobraževalne centre ter uspešne gospodarske in kulturne enote. V romanu so prikazane osupljive zgodbe bogatih plemkinj tako po duhovnih prednostih kot pomanjkljivostih. Srhljive so predvsem zgodbe o protestantski odpadnici, ločitvi po srednjeveško, zamolčani ljubezni, rudniku zlata, zeliščnem čudežu in skrivnostih sv. Primoža. V romanu vzbujata posebno pozornost polihistor Janez Vajkard Valvasor in oče slovenske besede Primož Trubar. Celotna pripoved je hvalnica Samostanu Mekinje in bližnjemu mestu Kamnik, zemeljskemu raju pod Kamniškimi planinami.
Z avtorjem se bomo pogovarjali o tem, kaj vse je odkril o tem, kakšno je bilo nekoč življenje v mekinjskem samostanu in našem mestu, bolje pa bomo lahko spoznali tudi žensko, opatinjo Dorotejo Sidonijo Gallenberg, ki je pomembno vplivala na mestno družbo in zgodovino. Vabljeni!
