Summary/Abstract: The object of this article are the books from the series Children's Life which Geo Milev published in 1913 and 1914. In literary studies the series has usually been mentioned in order to illustrate the early literary interests and publishing ambitions of its author and only single poems from the books have been interpreted by the scholars when presenting his children’s works. The aim of this article is to prove that as an integral initiative the poems from Children’s Life can be placed in the broader context of Geo Milev’s modernist project. In the first part of the article the history of the series is presented and an unknown poem by the poet is published. In the second part it is emphasized on the author’s desire to show his readers the modernist parameters of what he called “aesthetic emotion”.
