- Keywords:high school canon literature; literary interpretation; teach the controversy; historicism; contemporary classics
- Summary/Abstract:Tzvetan Rakyovski‘s vision of the high school canon is based on the openness of the list of authors and works, on it intense intertextuality, on the rejection of chronological order and the imposition of a thematic model. In his view, a change in expectations of what should be achieved with literature at school is also needed. This is moving closer to Gerald Graf ‘s vision of “teaching the controversies” and pursuing a larger goal – the awareness of the need for a culture of argument that would transform the school and the world beyond it into a shared space.

- No. of Pages:13
- Keywords:Yavorov; modernism; initiation; context; cycle; myth
- Summary/Abstract:This research is meant to study some new opportunities of understanding the well-known Yavorov’s poems, included in the cycle „Midnight Visions“. In his second book, „Insomnias“, Yavorov made very important changes in order of the poems in this cycle and this way reveals different meanings, which may be explained in the term of initiation. All the midnight visions are concepts and symbols of the initiation in new secret knowledge of Life, Spirit, Universe and Human’s Fate. The first poem in the cycle, „Monster“, and the last poem, „Annunciation“, in this context change their function as a love lyric and insist, for the reason of their position, a new interpretation. Deep archetypal symbols are transformed in the area of the new modern spirit of time. We are initiated in this poetic world of secrets too, following behind the hero on his dangerous road, full of boundaries and epistemological tests.

- Keywords:Pencho Slaveykov; lyrical cycle; Dream for happiness; lyrical miniature
- Summary/Abstract:The article follows the „birth” of one of the emblematic books in the Bulgarian literature from the beginning of the 20th century – „Dream for happiness” by Pencho Slaveykov. The book with its 101 poems without titles with its peculiar composition and wholesome concept reminds us of the genre body of the lyrical cycle. It is in fact born by poems in different lyrical cycles written in the period 1893–1906. Different poems are taken from previous lyrical cycles such as „Maiden’s tears”, but later written („Lonely”, „Songs”, „Dreams”, „Dream for happiness”) are included almost entirely in the book. Here the inner unity of the cycles is followed, the precomposition in a larger context, their recomposing in a new idea-emotional rhythm, creating an overall concept of the existence.

- Keywords:„Zlatorog” review; Vladimir Vasilev; critical reception; dramaturgy; Peio Yavorov; Modernism
- Summary/Abstract:The article aims at putting into question the complicated relation of Vladimir Vasilev, the editor in chief of the revue „Zlatorog”, to the whole various theatricalactivity and modern dramaturgy by Peio Yavorov. In three jubilee issues of the review, the critic offers his vision of the man of theatre Yavorov, where the diverse activity of the poet as a dramaturge of the National theatre stands out such as a drama critic, an author of theatre portraits, a participant in the selection of the repertory, a director, even a pedagogue and a teacher of scenic diction to the actors. We support the hypotheses that the missing evaluation of the innovative dramaturgy by Yavoror in the critical discourse of Vl. Vasilev signals of the sharp critical flair for the factors impeding the adequate understanding and reception of Yavorov’s modern plays before and after World War 1. The critic emphasizes the changed esthetical paradigm in the preferences of the interwar Bulgarian audience, the lack of adequate scenic reading and interpretation of drama texts that put in the centre the problems of the highly frustrated and problematic Modernist character as well as the poor development of Avant-garde practices in the theatrical discourse of Bulgarian stage.

- Keywords:genre; memoirs; fact – fiction; embedded narrative; story collections
- Summary/Abstract:The text considers Memoirs from Istanbul’s Dungeons by Svetoslav Milarov from the perspective of genre. The analysis takes account of the sophisticated relationship between fact and fiction in the book. For that purpose, it sets out to distinguish between three main layers in its text: the memoir framework, the prisoner narratives inscribed in it and the specific ways in which the two are merged together. The discussion focuses on analogies between Milarov’s text and / or narrative collections characteristic of the west European cultural environment. The main hypothesis rests on the assumption that the structure of the book, which was designated as a memoir, is, in fact, closer to that of the so-called story collections popular as early as the Middle Ages with which Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Boccaccio’s Decameron come into a dialogic relationship.

- Summary/Abstract:The article reviews one of the main issues of the Bulgarian Revival – the mission and the fate of the teacher in the XIX century. This is the emblematic figure of the Revival, part of the most powerful cultural institution – the educational. The teacher in this century is an authoritative personality which determines the guidelines of education/schooling, he is the translator, the compiler and the publisher of books current at that time, practically it is he who chooses the textbooks necessary for the educational process. If he disapproves of certain textbooks, he creates new ones himself. The article indicates on the prestige of the teaching profession and the difficulties which had to be overcome. The essence of the teacher as the authoritative figure of the Bulgarian Revival is followed through the fate of the teacher Teodor Hrulev. His work in the XIX century education is brought to light – he was the author of 22 books. A special accent in the article is on his activities in the re-publishing of the first new Bulgarian printed book – Nedelnik by Sofroniy Vrachanski. His contacts with persons like Georgi Rakovski are also discussed.

- Keywords:play, comedy; Balkan/Bulgarian; character; tradition; plot; actantial model
- Summary/Abstract:In 1928 the ‘Golemanov’, just-written comedy in three acts by St. L. Kostov, had been played on the stage of the National Theatre. Its plot is based on a typical principle for the character comedy by which the decay of society is revealed, the typology of a character belonging to the bourgeois elite is realistically displayed, different points of view are refined in to fully depict the phenomenon of service. The character of Golemanov synthesizes the traditions and meanings that distinguish the Balkan cultural situation and embodies the typology of a Balkans character – the Power-hungry man. The playwright St. L. Kostov constructs an actantial model about the hero’s ambitions for power and control – with the opening and final moments in the comedy act. The individual characteristics of a completely negative character are developed for the first time in the Bulgarian comedy in Golemanov. This character lives in the Balkans and his behaviour is a result of geographical and historical circumstances, but he also appears – in the logic of comedic action – the personification of universal human defects. The combination of regional and universal determines the significant place of the ‘Golemanov’ comedy in the Bulgarian dramaturgy.

- Keywords:Todor Tsenkov; proletarian literature; Argentina; socialist realism
- Summary/Abstract:Todor P. Tsenkov is not a big name in Bulgarian literature. Just the opposite – it could be argued that he is a nondescript writer. His writings take our attention for two reasons. Firstly, in some of his writings, he writes about Argentina, which makes him a part of the South American wave in the Bulgarian literature. Secondly, we can definitely argue that Todor P. Tsankov is a representative of the proletarian literature of average quality in Bulgaria. He consistently follows all of the ideological and stylistic tenets of the genre, which, after the Communist take-over in 1944, compose the mandatory literary and compositional method. In the following text, we present several of his short stories and his first novel – „Around the world for food“.

Alipiev’s philosophy of life. The poet’s human is the man of wisdom reconciled with death but in love with life. The author has an indestructible faith in cosmic renewal, in the perfect rhythm of the universe. His gaze penetrates beyond the visible – into the heart of existence.

On the one hand, these novels legitimize the „return of the religious” as a phenomenon in contemporary Bulgarian culture. On the other hand, they have their own peculiar approach to the artistic recreation of the „issue of Faith.” It is through this novelty and difference that they signal an upcoming change in some fundamental traits of Bulgarian narrative fiction.

- Keywords:emigrant literature; post-symbolism; modernism; totalitarian aesthetics; spiritual emigration
- Summary/Abstract:Even if written in Bulgarian, the poetry of the political émigré Hristo Ognyanov had remained practically inaccessible to Bulgarian readers for four decades. With the democratic changes at the beginning of the 1990s, his poetry has been republished in its entirety. The present essay reflects on the effects stemming from the deep cultural misapprehensions between the poet, his Bulgarian audience and the aesthetic searches of the context, which have again doomed his poetry to spiritual emigration. On the other hand, the inclusion of this “independent” parallel poetry in the historical narrative of the developments between the 1950s and the end of the 1980s reveals with the clarity of a litmus test the sites of “non-modernity” in Bulgarian totalitarian poetry.

- Keywords:Adam Mickiewicz; identity; transformation; reincarnation; transgender
- Summary/Abstract:The essay surveys the different types of identity transformations of the protagonists in the literary works of the Polish Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz in the context of the physical and spiritual transformations of the humankind from Adam and Eve until the 21st century. The supernatural changes the Mickiewicz’s heroes undergo are based on the Romantic postulate that the rational mind cannot always provide an explanation for the things happening in our lives. Through the multiple identity transformations in his works, Mickiewicz underlines the strong connection between the worlds of the living and the dead and instructs his reading audience on how to deal with current social, ethical and nationally significant issues.

- Summary/Abstract:It is generally acknowledged that the fundamental anthropological modus of walking once transformed from a necessary and indispensable human activity into a matter of individual choice, emerged as ideology and was simultaneously appropriated into the realm of „the fictive and the imaginary“ (in W. Iser’s terminology), which brought about the conceptualization of the literary peripatetic. Meanwhile, attributed to that same modern ideology was an ancient legacy traced back to Aristotle’s school of philosophy. The paper is concerned with the re-actualization of the peripapetic in Modernism – that is to say, with the conceptual, cultural, and textual aspects ofwalking, represented in modernist novels, evaluated in the perspective of the alternating historical, ideological, aesthetic, philosophical, and poetical contexts, that construct the complex narrative rationalizing the interconnectedness between walking and thinking, and walking and writing.

- Page Range:408-422
- No. of Pages:15
- Keywords:Classics; perception; preferences; translation; criticism; inspiration
- Summary/Abstract:The focus of the current study is the perception of the Italian literary classics by influential figures in Bulgarian literature like Iv. Vazov, K. Velichkov, P. Yavorov, P. P. Slaveykov and K. Hristov. It is traced in several aspects – preferences for specific authors, translation activity and literary criticism. In various sources, the Bulgarian classical authors displayed an affinity for Dante, F. Petrarca, T. Tasso, U. Foscolo, G. Leopardi and the “national poet of Italy” G. Carducci. Their works were distributed in Bulgaria through the translations of Vazov, Velichkov and Hristov. In some cases, the foreign classical authors had an inspiring effect on the original works of established Bulgarian writers. Thus, for example, Vazov immortalized in verse Dante, Tasso and Leopardi. Velichkov eulogized Dante and Petrarca, and Slaveykov – Michelangelo. Velichkov wrote a critical sketch of Dante, Hristov – of Foscolo, and Yavorov translated a feature story about Carducci.

- Page Range:423-440
- No. of Pages:18
- Keywords:novel; Danube; police storyline; adventure story plot; mystery; ship; boatman
- Summary/Abstract:The text recalls a little-known work by Jules Verne and allows the interaction of Vazov („Under the Yoke“) with Jules Verne („The Danube Boatman“) and back into the genre of adventure novel. The story here is not just a background but also a plotting factor, and the love triangle, police pursuit, and the river‘s pirate lure of the characters push the imagination of the reader and the researcher towards the best traditions of the genre. Namely – to the novel models of Hugo and Duma-Father. Jules Verne‘s interest in our national liberation struggles was designed in the adventure-sensational and emancipated Bulgarian stories in European literature.

- Page Range:441-452
- No. of Pages:12
- Keywords:Dostoevsky; “Double”; Kozma Prutkov; comic absurd
- Summary/Abstract:In the monography “After the end of classics” Rakyovsky argues that Dostoevsky’s Double (“Dvoynik”) and Mandelstam’s Egyptian stamp (“Egipetskaya marka”) discard traditional narrative and put forward the paradigms of splintering, madness, terror. The article highlights the new anthropology in Dostoevsky’s works by the figures of machines, poets and insects (vermin, bug). As an alternative of the poet, Dostoevsky’s plots put in play the figures of (male) novel writing and (female) book editing and managing. All together with the tragic, the author elaborates the category of comic absurd in the margins of folly, nonsense and object.

- Summary/Abstract:Статията разглежда въпроса за преводните литературнохудожествени текстове от български на китайски език. Погледът на автора се основава върху шестгодишен опит в преподаването на български език и литература в Пекинския университет за чужди езици. Изразено е мнение, че по отношение на българската (както и на останалите източноевропейски литератури) е крайно необходимо осъвременяване в избора на превежданата художествена литература.
