Summary/Abstract: In the very center of the attention in the present text is the view point, presented by Georgi Stamatov, about the war (as) a disease, that somehow infects the generic blood and causes the destruction of a given family and nationality. Meanwhile an attempt the so called dialogue between “Little Sodom” and “Insanity” by G. Raychev, to be decoded will be done. In the both texts the main motive is the action of returning back home.And when “Insanity” is based on the refusal to come back home, “The Little Sodom”by Stamatov makes its longing and turning into reality the main topic of the story.
