Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the problems and shortages related to the reception and presentation of Bulgarian literature and the contemporary Bulgarian authors in the nowadays literary public sphere in Federal Republic of Germany. A special focus is laid on the role of the premieres of newly issued German translations of Bulgarian literary works, book readings and public discussion with Bulgarian authors, as well as on the participation of Bulgarian authors at international book festivals in Germany. Instead of being the main channels for the introduction of Bulgarian authors and their works to the German literary public these events reveal a series of deficiencies and counterproductive traits, which prevent the access to and the popularization of Bulgarian literature in Germany.
