Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on literary images of a factory in post-war Bulgarian literature, especially the image of Kremikovtsi steel works located to the northeast of Sofia. It concentrates on two dominant paradigms in this context: the official one represented by pro-regime poet Lyubomir Levchev, and the other one – unofficial, clandestine, hidden, which was immanent in so called ‘drawer (= nonpublishable) literature’, first of all in Filip Dahilov’s novel Chronicle of the Cruel Days (Hronika na zhestokite dni) which could be published after the fall of communism in Bulgaria.
