Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt at reading one of the Bulgarian Revival classical works - Blaskov’s “Lost Stanka” - through the prism of expectations the postmodern person at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, as a script with all the merits of an action film. The battle scenes in the novelette reflect those of the frightening characters in Karl May’s novels. The emphasis has been put not on the stereotypical expectations of the Bulgarian revivalist literature as an apology of slave sufferings but on the eternal subject of war and man’s inherent wish of resistance.
