A bust of the great poet, France Prešeren. (source)
Today is Prešeren Day in Slovenia. One of this site’s oldest traditions is to spend it with someone who shares this famous Slovenian surame. I almost forgot this year, but in the last minute arranged for a quick chat with the very kind Matjaž Prešeren (32) of Maribor.
As always: visit Prešeren.net for all your Prešeren needs. And have a happy holiday!
————————————
Michael M.: What were you like as a child? How was it growing up with such a famous surname?
Prešeren: I was a very happy child. I have four brothers and one sister. We were a big and happy family. But the name was not special back then. Today it is, more so.
Michael M.: Do you have any similarities with the poet? (A fondness for poetry, drinking, etc…)
Prešeren: Poetry, yes. Good wine, yes. Refošk, yes. (laughs) I also don’t eat figs.
Michael M.: Have you written any poetry?
Prešeren: When I was five I wrote a little poem. After that — nope.
Michael M.: How will you be spending your namesake holiday?
Prešeren: I’ll be working. Just working.
