The autobiographical story of the previously unknown writer Ksenija Majcen (born 1963 in Maribor) with the multifaceted title Escape Without Borders is not just a story about an idea that arose in the head of an eight-year-old girl Ksenija, who moves from Ljubljana to the German Democratic Republic (GDR) with her family in the early 1970s due to her father's job, where, longing for her beloved grandfather, she childishly and playfully plans how she and her new East German friend Anya will travel across all the borders of the Iron Curtain back to him in Slovenia. This more or less innocent children's adventure, described from a later, more mature perspective, offers much more than light reading, as it also opens up a view of the darker reality of life in communist East Germany and East Berlin, where the Soviet sector was separated from the three Western sectors by the practically impassable infamous Berlin Wall. It unobtrusively depicts both the social and political conditions of the time as well as broader interpersonal relationships, which are marked with their cheerfulness and light primarily by the bond of family and friendship that knows no boundaries. The story is therefore intended for all generations, both those who still vividly remember those times and those who cannot imagine them today until they immerse themselves in an imaginative literary world.
