Overview

Celjska Mohorjeva družba (Mohorjeva družba v Celju) is the first and oldest Slovenian publishing house, and it remains one of the larger classic Slovenian publishers with a broad book repertoire across all genres and generations. It was founded on 27 July 1851 in Klagenfurt (Celovec) and was forced to relocate to Prevalje in 1919, then to Celje in 1927, where its headquarters remain today. The publishing house operates with independent sister publishing houses in Klagenfurt (Celovec) and Gorizia (Gorica). Its catalogue spans religious and spiritual literature, children's religious literature, fiction, non-fiction, and gift books, and it runs a bookstore in Celje at Nazorjeva 1. The publisher has received notable honours, including the Order of St. Cyril and Methodius (1992) and the Golden Honorary Badge of Freedom of the Republic of Slovenia (2001), the latter awarded for tirelessly spreading the Slovenian book and strengthening national consciousness among Slovenes on the 150th anniversary of Mohorjeva družba. The official website, mohorjeva.org, presents new releases, pre-orders, events, and a bookstore, and describes the company as 'the first Slovenian publishing house'.
