About the Book

Tyasha accompanies her mother to what seems to be a very boring and tedious work, but suddenly embarks on an exciting journey. This fictional story was inspired by an unusual archaeological discovery made in 2014 in the village of Ig near Ljubljana.
About the Author: Apart from being the leading Slovenian fortification expert Aleksander J. Potocnik is also an illustrator and writer. He graduated in 1984 at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana. Despite his formal education as an architect his main endeavour was illustrating and cartooning for the then major Slovenian periodicals. Between 1989 and 1994 he was living in Melbourne, Australia, where he completed a Graduate Diploma course in Animation and Interactive Multimedia. He spent the nineties working mostly as an illustrator and for the advertising industry. In the year 2000 he contributed the animation for the Golden Drumstick Award winning web site at the Golden Drum Festival. Notable was also his animated advertisement for the German based Bayer-Pharma. One of his favourite activities was also drawing pictorial maps. The turning point in his career happened in October 1999, when drawing a tourist map of the municipality of Ziri. While doing so he came across the remnants of the fortified line that were until then completely unknown to the general public. Under the mentorship of the American fortification expert, Joe E. Kaufmann, he undertook some research and published the very first study about the Rupnik Line in the British based Fort Magazine in 2001. Since then he has published many articles and several books about the subject. The books printed in English or in a bilingual version include: The Ring of Wire (Utrjena Ljubljana), Ad Pirum, 2006 Slovenian Fortifications (Utrdbe na Slovenskem), Ad Pirum, 2008 Fortifying Europe's Soft Underbelly, Merriam Press, 2012 Hemingway's Trail of the Novel A Farewell to Arms, Merriam Press, 2013 He contributed illustrations for books by Joe E. Kaufmann: The Maginot Line - History and Guide and The Atlantic Wall - History and Guide, both published by British based publishers Pen & Sword. He also continued to work as an illustrator of juvenile literature. One of the major references in this field was a series titled Mischievous Fairytales, published by Ad Pirum. Aleksander J. Potocnik is a member of the Fortress Study group (FSG) and of the Hemingway Society. At present he is a chairman of the Illustrators Section Association of the Slovenian Fine Artists Societies and a chairman of the Art Council of the Fine Art Society of Ljubljana.
