Author(s): Radostin Russev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2007

One of the many ‘actors’ in the spiritual life of Marian Tzvetaeva is Anna Akhmatova – a constant and primary source of motivation in her poetic quest and a corrector of her complex identity as a person and author. By parallel reading of their poetry and comparing different biographical facts the author studies the roots, mechanisms and results of the unique human and literary dialogue between these contrasting, both in life and in poetry, figures of the Russian Silver Age.

(въз основа на „Размишления върху „Дон Кихот“)

Author(s): Javier San Martín / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2016

Referring to some of the basic ideas of “Reflections on Don Quixote”, Javier San Martin analyzes the philosophical approach of Ortega to the book “Don Quixote” by Cervantes. The article presents the intertextuality of the “Reflections” and explicates three different notions of reality deriving from various cultural and historical periods. According to the article’s author Ortega appreciates “Don Quixote" as metanarrative of Modernity, because the mind is presented in the novel as a problem in itself.

Translation into Russian language by R. Jinzifov ) from the point of view of the problem of literary reciprocity in Slavic literature. The generic features of the work are analyzed, which offers support for the idea of a common cultural mythological heritage of the Slavic peoples, in particular Bulgarian and Russian.

Author(s): Magdalena Kostova-Panayotova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2006

They are also used to establish the models of one’s own self-definition on the basis of comparisons, which could be tolerant or aggressive.

„Дъждовните“ визии в поезията на Атанас Далчев

Author(s): Stefka Karaivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2019

This article aims to interpret in a comparative aspect five Dalchev’s poetry, in which the leading image is the rain. The aim is to clarify the presence of “rainyness” as a poetic figure that defines the parameters of being as meaning, and which characterizes Atanas-Dalche‘s artistic reasoning and self-reliance. Interesting is the ambiguous sign that embodies the image of “rain” – death and birth, light and darkness, anxiety and consolation, poetically expressed with philosophical depth and awareness. It turns out that the rain is a “black mirror” in which the self-assimilation and self-acceptance of the human in the illusory search of the truth for the Other as availability and absence is carried out.

„ЗА ДРЕВНОСТТА НА БАЩИНАТА ЗЕМЯ И ЗА БЪЛГАРСКИТЕ ДЕЛА“ НА ПЕТЪР БОГДАН БАКШИЧ – СТРУКТУРА, СЪДЪРЖАНИЕ, ОСНОВНИ ИСТОРИЧЕСКИ ИЗТОЧНИЦИ

Author(s): Tsvetan Vasilev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2019

This preliminary study of the only extant manuscript of the historical tractate, written by the catholic arcbishop Petar Bogdan Baksič (1601–1674) in Latin and rediscovered in 2017, aims to reveal the methodological principles of the author, the structure and the historical sources of the text. In the treatise there is evidence about the date of its creation (1666) as well as about the main historical sources used by the author. These sources include some well known historical works written by Caesar Baronius, Antonio Bonfini, Martin Cromer, Mauro Orbini, the popular Luca Wadding’s Annales Minorum, dogmatical works and hagiographical accounts of authors such as Charles Vialart, Sixtus of Siena, Pietro de’ Natali, Ivan Tomko Marnavič, Latin translations of medieval ecclesiastical histories, etc. The article claims that the main goal of the author was to offer a historical account of the catholicism in the Bulgarian lands, mainly in the region around Chiprovez, called "fatherland" by Petar Bogdan. Beginning with a preface, the tractate is divided into seventy chapters with separate titles. The tractate is much more than a work of a scholar: it is a confession of faith by one of the leading Bulgarian intellectuals and spiritual figures of the 17th century. Driven by love for his fellow citizens, Petar Bogdan was committed to leave a meaningful and powerful message for the future generations. This is evidenced for instance by the following words in the preface, quotation from Cicero: Parents are dear; dear are children, relatives, friends; one native land embraces all our loves; and who that is true would hesitate to give his life for her, if by his death he could render her a service (Cic. Off. 1. 57.)?

„Заповеди на светите отци“ в южнославянската кирилска традиция

Author(s): Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 4/2007

The article summarizes the data regarding the spreading and the function of the oldest Slavonic penitential, known under the name "Zapovedi svetih otec" in the Glagolitic Euchologium Sinaiticum from the 10th—11th century. Together with this copy and the most archaic Cyrillic representative from the Ustjug Kormčaja (13th-14th century), many others reveal the large diffusion and reproduction of the same text in the South Slavonic area. The mss. date predominantly from the 14th-17th century and contain only excerpts from the original corpus of texts. The analysis focuses on about 30 copies from Bulgarian and foreign holdings of manuscripts. The object of special investigation are three redactions of epitimies that were given different titles of pseudo-attribution to St Basil the Great, St John the Faster or St John Chrysostom. One can suppose that the archetype of the most archaic ones appeared immediately after the Byzantine domination in the Bulgarian lands. It was a dynamic epoch for all Balkan peoples, especially for the Bulgarian State and Church - the time of literary excellence, of the fight against the heresy of the Bogomils and other sects, all of that ending with the Ottoman conquest. In that epoch the texts of the penitential discipline were necessary to help the South Slavonic priests to accomplishment their confessionnal duties and to imposing of penitence. As a consequence they were copied intensively and gained a special place in the social and cultural South Slavonic milieu. The linguistic analysis, especially that of lexical changes between different copies shows some significant features that shed light on the process of textualadaption. The manuscript tradition of the Commandments provides additional arguments for answering questions regarding the time, the place, and the authorship of the Slavonic translation as well as the literary tradition it belongs to.

„Захванали сме една работа, трябва да се доизкара до края“, или за дълга и себеотдадеността на посветения (Наблюдения върху „Земляци“ на Йордан Йовков

Author(s): Vladimir Ignatov / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 6/2015

Yovkov’s treatment of war covers the full range of the life time during the cataclysmic event, i.e. there is a focus on its many-sided designation and manifestation. This text focuses on the work “Countrymen”, investigating the leading conceptual line in it - the movement of particular fi ction constructions and suggestions to their universal meanings. Its aims are related to the analysis of the dense network of references that in its own various functioning systematically develop the idea of m oral-psychological validity of the depicted war world and also – the concept of the dimensions of its expression in the particular inner state.

„Здесь живёт праздник...” („Книга о Финляндии” Людмилы Коль)

Author(s): Ludmiła Łucewicz / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 8/2015

The paper is dedicated to the theme of a holiday in the book ‘Where the Pine Trees Ring’ written by a Russian author Lyudmila Kol, nowadays a resident of Finland. In general, the book represents an autobiographical text that is notable for its many-sidedness and variety. The writer narrates in a delicate manner, but not without irony “about the country where the Finns live,” about the Finns themselves, the Finnish soul, about what is “hidden under the mask of a modern lifestyle.” The Russian author notices that the yearly life of modern Finns (very businesslike and dynamic) is organized according to various family celebrations. Religious, national, and local holidays occupy a considerable place in the book. There are comments about Palm Sunday, Juhannuspäivä, the Harvest Festival, the Independence Day, Christmas, the Sweden Day, about Pancake Week, Runeberg Day (birthday of the national poet) and others. The holidays presented in the text reflect the peculiar features of the Finns’ consciousness and their way of thinking, as well as the Russian author’s perception thereof and her attitude towards them.

„Зоопарк” ментального представления русскоязычных Вариации и динамика репродуктивного образа (1)

Author(s): Piotr Czerwiński / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 2/2016

The character of the relations between linguistic and not strictly linguistic elements of awareness is discussed upon the example of existing notions. The vocabulary material reflecting both historical and contemporary interpretations is quoted. These interpretations consider the words’ etymology. Their analysis is intended to find out the motifs which change in time, features and semantic analogies. These three elements are then consolidated in the notions of the mental and linguistic culture. Later on the character of relations is established (by placing the character in artificially created space) between the state of an animal and that of a human. The human resembles the animal, and the latter is a representative of a community in captivity, and the human observing the animals becomes an element of the collective display. The gathered information and interpretations (compared to the data from the dictionary of dreams via their semantic and mental features) make it possible to ask a question on the semantics of the mental and semantic features of the vivid experiences which are in perceptual and mental existence. These experiences shape the notions for the representatives of a specific mental culture. The notions in question are of regulating, approximate and not always realized character. These notions are especially the ones which condition the organisation of the world in linguistic and non‑linguistic awareness, and as a result they influence the semantic evolution of a language as well as its users’ mentality.
