    THE BLOOM OF THE DESERT. THE MATTER OF THE MISSION OF THE ARTIST IN THE NOVEL „THE GREEN GRASS OF THE DESERT“ BY DIKO FUCHEDZHIEV
    (Plovdiv University Press, 2025-05-16) Biserov, Boris; Бисеров, Борис
    The current study emphasizes the role of the creator of arts and its paramount importance as a literary motif in the 1970s in Bulgarian literature. The paper is based upon the ambiguous message of the title of the novel, which can be interpreted either as a reference to an actual natural phenomenon, or as a metaphor of the main character’s life. Either way, there is a point of intersection where the two interpretations meet and which the study aims to explicit. The paper casts light on other narrative techniques, typical for the 1970s in Bulgaria, which can contribute to a further comprehension of the novel „The Green Grass of the Desert“.

    THE NOVEL „BLOOD“ – BETWEEN THE IDEOLOGICAL ROTTENNESS AND HUMANISM
    (Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-17) Biserov, Boris
    The main aim of the current study is to follow the critical reviews of Konstantin Konstantinov’s novel “Blood” during the 1930s. Due to the dramatic political events taking place throughout the decade in Bulgaria the novel has become a target of unyielding critical disapproval by the “left” editions in Bulgaria (those supporting the Communist Party). On the other hand, “Blood” has been highly appreciated by the “right” press, which delves into the aesthetic and humanistic qualities of the text. Some of the most renowned Bulgarian critics remain unbiased and sustain an objective viewpoint on the novel, keeping the ideological perspective aside. Nevertheless, the “critical storm” which the novel has stirred up turned out to be one of the most significant issues in the history of Bulgarian literature.
