Urbanul, între dragoste, profesie și nostalgii burgheze. „Noaptea cu cai albi” de Pavel Vejinov
The Urban, Between Love, Profession and Bourgeois Nostalgia. Night with White Horses by Pavel Vejinov

Summary/Abstract: The book Night with White Horses by Pavel Vejinov uses the neorealist procedures for depict the social and emotional events which shape the life of Urumov’s family, emblematic for the solid Bulgarian bourgeoisie, confronted, now, with the innuendo of the Communist ideology, with her intrusion at all the levels. The profession of the academician Urumov (specialist in virology) and life in the Research Institute that he leads become an allegory of this destructive invasion, which is acting like a virus, the new type of careerism, and the mixture of the private life from the Communist perspective in people's destinies. Two generations: the occurrence formed before the "new man", that still retains elements of a dignified behavior; that formed after the Second World War, contaminated up to dissolution of the danger of the extreme-left ideology. Another important aspect is the one related to love, and the research of this one, regardless of age.
