Sample from the e-book "Odprla so se nebesa" (The heavens opened)
This entry includes the first part of the e-book "Odprla so se nebesa" (The heavens opened) by author Milan Jazbec (COBISS.SI-ID 275105027, ISBN 978-961-7272-51-2).
Just as troubadour poetry ennobled women with dignity, honor and respect, Milan's verses sing of Magda's femininity, full of tenderness, grace and dignity. In modern times, this can be done not only by an adult, but only by a mature man who says: "I have crossed the ocean on this endless path to you..." The richly worded verses are placed in space and time, but when read, they give the impression that they are beyond. These dimensions are unknown to everyone
Corpus-grounded evaluation dataset for grammatical question answering GramQA 1.0
The Corpus-grounded evaluation dataset for grammatical question answering (GramQA) consists of 13 grammatical questions inspired by WALS, the World Atlas of Language Structures (https://wals.info/), focusing on word order variation across different syntactic constructions (e.g., the typical order of subject, object, and verb in a language). For each question, the dataset provides ground truth values for 179 languages based on Universal Dependencies (https://universaldependencies.org/) corpora, which can be used for cross-linguistic word order comparison and evaluation of model predictions against corpus evidence. The dataset was originally developed as an evaluation benchmark for an agentic LLM-based grammatical analysis system (i.e. the UD-Agent, described in a separate paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.00214)), but is released as a standalone resource for broader reuse.
For every question–language pair, the dataset includes (i) the dominant word order pattern (reported as the most frequent attested value in the corpus) and (ii) the full distribution of all attested word order patterns with their relative frequencies. The ground truth values were obtained automatically by applying a series of Python scripts developed by the authors, implementing rule-based extraction procedures over test portions of the UD treebanks (v2.16). The scripts can be accessed at a separate GitHub repository (https://github.com/matejklemen/ud_llm/).
Files included:
- udagent_eval_data.jsonl: A JSON Lines file containing 1,899 entries (one per feature-language pair; only the feature-language pairs for which at least one valid result was returned by the Python scripts are included). Each entry consists of the WALS feature ID, language information, and the corresponding ground truth value derived from UD data. Each entry contains information about both dominant word order pattern (dubbed the "short answer") as well as the distribution across all possible orders for the associated feature.
- udagent_eval_metadata.json: A JSON file with information about the included languages, the UD treebanks used to obtain the ground truth values for each language, the particular question associated with each WALS feature, and set of possible values for each feature

This entry includes the first part of the e-book "Pozabljena dolina" (Forgotten Valley) by author Bojan Bizjak (COBISS.SI-ID 275132419; ISBN 978-961-7272-59-8 (ePUB)).

Sample from the audiobook "Cvetoča Slovenija" (Blooming Slovenia)
This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Cvetoča Slovenija" (Blooming Slovenia) by author Ivan Sivec (COBISS.ID: 275424259, ISBN: 978-961-291-539-1).
Many believe that the writer Ivan Sivec is one of the rare masters of short stories, or novellas. That this is indeed true is also confirmed by the readership of such books. Readers are presented with the fifth collection of Sivec’s novellas, titled Blooming Slovenia, with the subtitle Seven Paths to Heaven. In fact, the latter expression is mainly ironic, and the stories could just as well be subtitled Seven Paths to Hell. Over the past thirty years, Slovenia has made significant progress, but in many respects it has also “blossomed” in a negative sense

Sample from the audiobook "Faktor X" (Factor X)
This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Faktor X" (Factor X) by author Ivan Sivec (COBISS.ID: 273985283, ISBN: 978-961-7143-59-1).
The social-psychological novel "Faktor X" by writer Ivan Sivec, subtitled Confession of a Naive Model, is a tragic story with a happy ending. Almost eighteen-year-old Maša Poglajen considers herself very mature and believes she can take care of herself. When she enters the glamorous world of modeling, it appears so beautiful to her that she is completely blinded by it. Maša soon falls into drug addiction. Photoshoots around the world and high fees repeatedly convince her of the importance of her work. Only after being raped does she realize that the fashion world is not for her, and she returns home. Her family also shows a worrying attitude toward Maša’s career. They consider it right for the girl to capitalize on her beauty on the fashion runways of Milan, London, and New York. The novel can be understood primarily as an important and serious reflection intended for girls who are tempted by such a career.
For those not interested in such forms of self-affirmation, the work vividly portrays an outwardly beautiful but, behind the scenes, much harsher fashion world and the secret activities controlled mainly by middle-aged bald men
Sample from the audiobook "Jutri bom umrl" (I will die tomorrow)
This entry contains the first part of the audiobook "Jutri bom umrl" (I will die tomorrow), by author Iztok Sivec (COBISS.SI-ID 272746499, ISBN 978-961-7143-57-7 (MP3)).
The novel “Tomorrow I Will Die”, subtitled Confessions of a Ljubljana Playboy, draws attention to the plague of modern times – AIDS. It tells the unusual story of brothers Luka and Jaka, who live life to the fullest without thinking about the future.
In this life, everything is possible—perhaps even everything forgivable. Yet each person must take care of the development of their own personality and be responsible for their actions. If one truly lives this way, they should not be surprised when injustice happens to them. This applies both to the individual and to society as a whole. In Slovenia, we must not be misled by an apparent calm. The experiences of some nearby countries are far too alarming for complacency. In Tomorrow I Will Die, writer Ivan Sivec addresses this issue in a somewhat unusual, yet vividly realistic and, for our young country, highly necessary and deeply moving way

Stories and poems that step from the invisible into visibility, perceptibility, recognizability, visibility, perceptibility, recognizability, fluidity..., drive a draft through the doors of houses and drive us into the streets, meadows, cities, into distant, deeply felt landscapes, and take the reader in unforeseen turns to mighty lands, are interconnected through an ideological meta-narrative
