Summary/Abstract: History and historical circumstances mean that the lyric inspiration of a writer, his most intimate expression, can appear as a form of protest and subversion. The work of Lubomir Guentchev is an example in Bulgaria in the 20th century. Worried in his country in 1944, declared "enemy of the people" in 1952, persecuted in 1973, this author born in 1907 and disappeared in 1981 was banned from publication during his lifetime. The manuscripts of his Unpublished Writings, his unpublished writings, which he had left in French and in Bulgarian, were found in 1999. They began to be published in France in 2003 and in Bulgaria in 2020. At the time of totalitarianism and socialist realism, the expression of his "personal convictions and dissatisfaction, albeit in the greatest secrecy, was reproached to him during a police interrogation on April 17, 1973. His approach, very personal and subjective, had been deemed corrosive? His inspiration had been seen as subversive, as were his motives, characteristics and aesthetic choices.
