This paper aims to examine the intricate relationship between G. Gachev's concept of "accelerated development" (Gachev: 1989), and the acts of self-reflection which frequently surface on the Bulgarian literary scene during periods of significant political and historical changes 1. In 2007, the Bulgarian writer T. Dimova published her novel "Adriana...
This is a poetry book written mainly in Brussels, Belgium between 2018-2021.
The article aims to disclose how the encounters with Drainac changed Bagryana’s poetry and her perception of poetic language and herself. For that purpose the poetry of Bagryana before 1930, mainly the key poems from “The Eternal and Holy”, will be analyzed. The views expressed in those poetic strophes will be related to Drainac’s own poetic texts...

Възраждането и Втората световна война имат една важна обща особеност - те отбелязват историческо начало. Възраждането пробужда идеята за национална общност в нейната начална и възможно исторически най-положителна и все още доброкачествена форма. Втората световна война бележи политическото разделение на Европа и света на социалистически и капиталист...
В словото си "За случайните съвпадения"1 Милен Русков говори за връзката между съвпаденията и континуума на историята. Случайните съвпадения ни карат да търсим неочаквани съчетания на случки и събития, да открием скрита логика зад привидността на фактите и да съединим по нов начин съставките на миналото и света. В комбинацията на случайните съвпаде...
In 2004 the Bulgarian contemporary writer Georgi Gospodinov published a book (Az Zhivyah Sotsializma / I lived socialism), which contains 171 stories told by Bulgarians who lived during socialism . The aim of the book was to create cultural space within which small private historically insignificant narratives can be freely shared, so that the once...

Димитри Ферхюлст посвещава романа си на свободното слово и на всички пишещи, които са се борили, подължават да се борят и ще се борят за тази свобода....
After postmodernism, and in the contemporary European cultural climate, difference and especially cultural diversity are still acknowledged and, in most cases, perceived as something that needs to be cherished, protected, and further developed. In the general terms of what is seen as progressive cultural thinking, the recognition of difference is p...
Philosophical concepts are traditionally used to explain and analyse literary texts. This article tries to investigate the opposite dependency. Namely, how literary texts and characters could illustrate certain philosophical concepts while re-interpreting, extending and changing their original meaning. In Kantʼs context speculative (theoretical) ra...
