Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on the inventor as a literary character of Bulgarian interwar literature. In the first part of the research an attempt for a typology of the character is made. In the second part is studied the image of the Moon in the short story by Svetoslav Minkov “Lunatin!...Lunatin!... Lunatin!..” (1932). This image turns out to be a reason to study the literary and ideological shaping of the inventor as a literary character set in the context of the mass discourse about the scientific progress of the 1930s.
