The present paper explores the power of words in Georgi Markovski’s novel “Hitar Petar”. The report analyzes the biblical codes in the text, the intertextual connections with other texts and it corresponds with different scientific productions. The work draws attention to the ability of the Markovski’s fictional character Petar to lead and save the people only through his holy and wise words, but also with the power of his bold humor. A subject of research is also the author himself, as well as the trends of the Bulgarian literature at that time.
