Особености на българската преводна книжнина в османския контекст на XIX век
Bulgarian Reception of Foreign Literature in the Ottoman Context of the 19th Century

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a comparative study on two levels. The theoretical one is inspired by the concept of “entangled histories” that operates on a supranational level for making cross-cultural parallels. The second level presents a case study of the reception of the French novel Les janissaires by Alphonse Royer in five languages – Greek, Romanian, Bulgarian, Karamanli, and Armenian, which took place in the Ottoman context from the 1840s to the 1870s. The goal of the study is to illustrate how under the same political reign the cultural transfer enabled a circulation of notions and an appropriation of new civilizational practices between different communities that later incorporated those notions in their nationalist discourses.
