This paper presents data from an empirical study on reading fiction for pleasure. The study covers students from the NBU and the University of Belgrade, Serbia. The aim of the publication is to bring a new touch to the portrait of the student as a reader. Based on the respondents' information, it is argued that reading on both sides of the Bulgarian-Serbian border is often approached with the same motivation; the main reason for distancing from reading is the lack of time, but also the lack of interest; the ways of relating to the fiction text can be defined as “autonomous reading”, “escapist syndrome”, “syndrome of chosen infantilism”.

The paper explores the two novels by Boyka Assiova, “The Barren Widow” and “Born on Easter” from the angle of the historical theme. The story in them is plausible although it features many fictitious elements as well. In Razlog, her birthplace, people are tolerant of one another even though they are from different religious backgrounds. The role of the philanthropist Pierce O’Mahony who established an orphanage for the children orphaned during the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising in 1903 has been shown. The two main characters of the novels Vranitsa and Philip grew up there. The life of the two of them has been traced, to how they became good citizens. Written skilfully, B. Assiova’s novels fascinate contemporary readers.

The article is an attempt to identify the nationalities of authors of crime fiction published in Bulgaria during the first half of the 20th century. At that period of time it was the names of the protagonists which sold the books so in that regard the names of the authors were either unknown or of no importance at all. Due to this fact, little or nothing is known about the majority of crime books authors or about their real nationality as they have not been studied thoroughly by the Bulgarian retrospective bibliography. The lack of relevant information about the authors and their protagonists as well as the infiltration of English-language culture in Bulgarian publishing industry has resulted in categorizing these literary works mainly as ones written by American authors.

In 2022, 200 years are celebrated of the birth of the prominent Sliven resident Dobri Chintulov (1822–1886) – one of the most significant figures of the Bulgarian revival – an eminent teacher, remarkable pedagogue, outstanding patriot, notable public figure and fighter for church independence, inspired rebellious poet. In his poetry, he wrote about the passionate and seething urge of the Bulgarian people for freedom. His songs are accepted as a revelation, and with the sincere patriotic pathos, with the bright heroic romance, with the vivid poetic imagery, with the folk-literary language and the rhythmic verse, they lay the beginning of our new Bulgarian poetry. The biobibliographical index “Dobri Chintulov ” is the first and most complete bibliographic publication reflecting the life and great work of the remarkable Bulgarian, covering the period from 1849 until July 2022. The directory presents 1619 publications written by and about Chintulov in Bulgarian and foreign languages, a brief chronology of his life and creative work, as well as a system of indexes to assist the search of articles about him and his work.
