Summary/Abstract: This paper is an overview of the second, supplemented and modified edition of the first textbook of Macedonian literature and culture for foreigners “Vezilka” by Vesna Mojsova Chepishevska, PhD. With exception of Georgi Stalev’s textbook for Macedonian literature in XIX century, this is the only academic textbook for Macedonian literature not only for foreign scholars, but also for Macedonian students of philology. The paper separately comments and analyzes chapters of the second edition of the textbook, published in 2022 and the reading book “Vezilke, Say How to Give Birth to a Simple and Strict Macedonian Poem”. In the concluding observation of this review, among other things, it is pointed that the second, supplemented and modified edition of “Vezilka” is a textbook written according the international standards of this type of publication, but that at the same time, this textbook, in our national context, establishes standards for textbook writing, especially when it comes to presenting Macedonian literature and culture to foreign recipients.
