Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the novel of the Bulgarian writer Emil Andreev, The Glass River, using the meanings of the concept of postmodernism. The starting point is the architecture of the Church "St. Nicholas", located in the region where the bogomilism has left material traces The characters grouped into two categories: the rationalists, and those who have retained the archaic spirit connections confront soon with themselves, with their anxieties, experiencing strange events that will change, or at least they will reassess the modalities of their knowledge. The mediator-character, the priest Petar, directs this suspenseful narration into the diversity report with divinity, into the consciousness of heterogeneity. The title of the novel suggests the fragmentation of life, of his expressions, the communication between the present and the past, between life and death, between history and myth.
