Ivan Sivec (born 23 May 1949) is a Slovenian writer, author, lyricist and storyteller. He lives and works in Mengeš.[1]
He wrote more than 150 novels and more than 3,000 lyrics for popular music, which made him the most prolific writer in the history of Slovenian literature. He is most known for his historical novels – on Carantania, the ancient Slovenian homeland, on Romans in this part of the empire, on the Counts of Celje, for his collection of Slovenian Castle Stories, for his travelogues and for his biographical novels about Slovenian writers, poets, musicians and other artists. Several of his novels, especially for the youth have been made into feature films and TV series. His work was described as a new realism which borders on documentary.[2]
