Izvleček
Zaradi velikega števila izdanih leposlovnih knjig, tudi tistih v slovenskem jeziku, katerih obseg presega bralne zmožnosti povprečnega bralca, se je izoblikovala ideja o pripravi seznama najpomembnejših slovenskih romanov. Namen takšnega podviga seveda ni poskus reduciranja branja na zgolj branje romanov s seznama, temveč predvsem priprava pripomočka pri izbiri romanov za branje, tako da bi bralci, ki bi se radi kar se da celovito seznanili s slovenskim romanopisjem, ne izpustili katerega od zares pomembnih del. Začetna ideja je bila razdeljena v dve fazi. Najprej smo s pomočjo raziskave med šolskimi knjižničarji v letu 2024 oblikovali seznam najpomembnejših slovenskih romanov, namenjenih odraslim bralcem. Leta 2025 smo z našim podvigom nadaljevali in izvedli raziskavo v podobnem obsegu. Tokrat smo se osredotočili na oblikovanje seznama najpomembnejših slovenskih mladinskih romanov. S tem smo zajeli slovensko romanopisje tako rekoč v celoti. Rezultat sta dva bralna seznama, seznam najpomembnejših slovenskih romanov, namenjenih odraslim bralcem, in seznam najpomembnejših slovenskih mladinskih romanov.
Abstract
The Most Important Slovenian Youth Novels
Due to the large number of published literary works, including those in the Slovenian language, whose volume exceeds the reading capacity of the average reader, the idea has emerged to compile a list of the most important Slovenian novels. The purpose of such an endeavour is not to reduce reading to only those novels on the list, but rather to provide a tool for selecting the novels to read, so that the readers who wish to become acquainted with Slovenian novel-writing as comprehensively as possible do not miss any truly important works. The initial idea was divided into two phases. In 2024, we first created a list of the most important Slovenian novels intended for adult readers with the help of research conducted among the school librarians. In 2025, we continued with our project by carrying out similar-scale research. This time, we focused on creating a list of the most important Slovenian youth novels. With this, we covered Slovenian novel-writing practically in its entirety. The results are two reading lists: a list of the most important Slovenian novels for adult readers and a list of the most important Slovenian youth novels.
