Summary/Abstract: The review presents Cătălina Puiu’s book “The Motif of Water in Bulgarian Literature”, which explores the symbolism of water in Bulgarian literary tradition. The analysis covers authors from the National Revival to contemporary times – from Petko R. Slaveykov, Vazov, Pencho Slaveykov, and Yavorov to Bagryana, Dalchev, Emil Andreev, and Ivan Stankov. Water is examined in three main aspects – life, purification, and renewal – functioning as a key to the interpretation of literary texts. The book makes a valuable contribution to the reception of Bulgarian literature in Romania and offers new perspectives for its understanding.
