The monograph sheds light on the role of Trieste in Slovene political life and the Slovene presence in this multiethnic city in the northern Adriatic area in the period 1848-1954.

The research analyses the relations between two regions, the Czech lands (later on Czechoslovakia) and the Littoral, which were in the Habsburg period parts of the common State. The book deals with political and diplomatic issues, but also economic, cultural and wider social relations, which after the end of WWI, became parts of the new »national« Succesor States. The book shows us how the Littoral (and consequently the Mediterranean Slovenia) was fully part of the european historical processes in the first half of the 20th Century.
