Workshop of Clouds Drama

The theme of this drama ranges from fighting of the partisans-peasants to attitudes toward them after WWII. Remec shows the state's ability to assert its power on whatever way it wishes. It is meant to be advanced but it cannot realize it is bureaucratic, heartless and works by the means of absurdity, driven right to the brink of inhumanity.

Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana, 1966/1967.

Solstice Novel

"What gives the most personal note to Remec's texts is his dealing with sexuality without any erotic hypocrisy." (M. Kramberger)

Horizon Publishing House (Zalozba Obzorja), Maribor, 1969.

Bonfire at Savica Drama

This is an unperformed drama, political crime story. It is a severe condemnation of the revolution and of the post-war state authority that fed on its own children. At the same time, the drama indicates that a reconciliation between religion and communism is not possible.

The Cave, or The Night Among Modern Slovene Dormouse Hunters Novel

Recognition, or White Widows Dark Hours Novel

"Recognition is based on those ideological and thematic components which are characteristically meant for science fiction novels. The world of Remec's work is a recognizable utopian world, which, however, due to the main hero's incompatibility with the legalities of this world, changed into a negative utopian world, dark utopia or anti-utopia..." (Drago Bajt)

Juvenile Book (Mladinska Knjiga), Ljubljana, 1980.

Iksion, or Escape from the Stage Novel

"Iksion is Remec's creative climax of the past few years and is an interesting achievement, not only of modern Slovene prose but also of anti-utopian works in general." (Drago Bajt)

Hunter and Unclean Daughter Novels

In both stories (Hunter and Unclean Daughter) we can notice Remec's thematic-motif progress to new ideas and problems, which he expresses in short stories." (Drago Bajt)

Dandelion Fluff in Space Fairy tale

This science fictional fairy tale expands children's horizons and offers a different creation of the universe and a possibility of life expansion from other worlds.

Juvenile Book (Mladinska knjiga), Ljubljana, 1989.

Green Covenant Novel

Green Covenant is a political-fantastic novel and is set around the year 2087 in surreal circumstances in Slovenia, a somewhat autonomous country belonging to federal Balkania from which it separates. This work proved to be an astonishingly correct prognosis of the 'Slovene spring' (the period just before, during and after Slovenia's separation from former Yugoslavia).

Fighter Publishing House (Zalozba Borec), Ljubljana, 1989.

Journals of Earth's Envoy Story

Journals of Earth's Envoy is a juvenile story with a number of attractive features. The title promises science fictional text for youngsters, however, that is not exactly the truth. Although the story is primarily meant for youngsters it is equally suitable for adults too.

Presern's society (Presernova druzba), Ljubljana, 1991.

Astral Lighthouses Novellas

We can see in the collection of short science fiction stories "Astral Lighthouses" that the author tends to deal with the theme, which points towards the wrong direction of man's development. The catastrophic theme prevails in these stories.

Kiki Keram, Ljubljana, 1993.

Trapan Chronographies Novel

In Trapan Chronographies, Remec returns to time snares of "time-going, time-outgoing and time-ingoing". This work is a bitter mockery of the new times of Slovenia's Independence. Whereas Slovenia is a small country in a big world, in the novel, 'Trapans' live on their small "planet" within a vast "universe".

Feuilleton of Nedelo, 1995 -1997.

Iksia, or Android's Farewell Novel

Miha Remec has without a doubt writen a new masterpiece. Iksia is a tale of cosmic Romeo and Juliet ... Remec's eroticism is read as a poetry, but it is also palpable, for it is natural and suggestive. It gives us a challenge, but once appreciated in its hights, it is overwhelming, relaxed, smooth, free and bold ... (J. Majnič)

Založba Obzorja, Maribor, 2001.

Iks, or The Great Solitude of Noah's Ark Novel

In 2004, Miha Remec completed the third part of his great saga - a novel entitled Iks (or The Great Solitude of Noah's Ark). All three novels (Iksion, Iksia, Iks) represent a comprehensive, integrated, and essentially completed antiutopic cycle. With that Remec presents himself as a large-scale master, one who belongs to the world's top of science fiction. His merit is, inter alia, that the Slovenian science fiction has established itself as an independent, recognized and fruitful genre.
