An interesting memoir, written in the 1970s and translated from Slovenian into English in the 1990s, Pahor writes of his experience as a prisoner/medic in a series of concentration camps during World War II. A non-Jewish perspective. Very well written (a dense, poetic, meandering style), and as would be expected very depressing.
This is the only book by Pahor translated into English. On a website that I found, however, you were invited to read the plot outline of one of his Slovenian books (the plot outline being in English). That book was called Nekropola.
Well, Pilgrim Among the Shadows IS Nekropola. Weird.
