DELIQUENTE NATO: A WORLD THEORY IN GEORGI RAYCHEV’S THE GENTLEMAN WITH THE GIRL („ГОСПОДИНЪТ С МОМИЧЕТО “)

Summary/Abstract: In his novel The Gentleman with the Girl („Господинът с момичето“) (1937), Georgi Raychev explores the origin of crime and the problem of heredity as part of it. The popular concept of the “born criminal” (delinquente nato) is adopted by Raychev in his novel where he also examines rape as a human rights violation. In this context, this article focuses on the ways in which the Bulgarian novel can be seen as part of the eugenic doctrine, which was popular worldwide in the beginning of the 20th century.
