Edvard Kocbek Collection

The Edvard Kocbek Collection is located in the depot of the National and University Library in Ljubljana. It is actually his personal bequest to that same library. Kocbek was the greatest Slovenian poet and writer of the 20th century, who, as a Christian Socialist, joined the Slovene National Liberation Front under the control of the communists during the Second World War. Due to his divergent opinions about the war and the policies of the new communist regime, immediately after the war he was placed under the surveillance of the secret police (known as the UDBA). After that, he was very soon placed under a kind of public isolation, which implied limited movement and restricted access to intellectual life.

爱德华·科克贝克藏品坐落于卢布尔雅那国家大学图书馆的库房之中。实则，此乃其对该图书馆的个人捐赠。科克贝克乃20世纪最杰出的斯洛文尼亚诗人与作家，作为一名基督教社会主义者，在第二次世界大战期间，他加入了共产党控制的斯洛文尼亚民族解放阵线。鉴于他对战争及新共产主义政权政策的分歧意见，战争结束后不久，他便受到了秘密警察（简称UDBA）的监视。此后，他很快便陷入了某种形式的公众隔离，这意味着其活动受限，且难以接触知识生活。
