Alejandro H. Monarres

Bachelor’s in Hispanic Letters and Master’s student in Hispanic Studies at the University of Ljubljana.

Studied for his Bachelors in Mexico, where he worked on an online magazine Estudios Funebres. He has a published poetry book Manifiesto infantil o antiteoría de las bellas artes. Furthermore, his literary works have been published in Mexico, Spain and Peru and now he is co-directing this website since he thinks that open access to the culture is urgent to develop free societies. He thinks that there are not enough translations of Slovene literature to Spanish.

We are running this webpage because we know the beauty of the languages. That is why we are trying to solve the problem of the lack of Spanish literature in the Slovene language, and the lack of translated works of the Slovene literature in the Spanish language.

In 2022 he got awarded the Jana Zemljarič Miklavčič Scholarship Trust of the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language of the University of Ljubljana.
