Summary/Abstract: The present article examines the different forms of reception that can be observed in Bulgaria with regard to two of the most significant Austrian authors of the second half of the 20th century and of the 21st century. The starting point for the study is the attempt to reconstruct the effort of the translators. The available data are summarised and the names of the key participants in this process are highlighted. The next step is the attempt to find and analyse other forms of reception of these authors and to establish the factors that favour literary transfer from one language to another and from one national literature to another, so that foreign language authors can participate in the cultural context of the target language, in this case Bulgarian.
