experiment

This article aims to discover the connection between two poems from Dimitar Boyadzhiev and Albert Samain, both named "Elegy". The challenge came not only from the texts themselves, but also the fact that the French symbolist is represented in Bulgaria with just a few translated poems. I had no other alternative, but to translate Samain"s "Elegy" by myself, so it can be said that my work is more like literary experiment.

The paper presents and comments on the papers, responses, and discussions from the Round Table “The post-1989 Transition in Contemporary Bulgarian Literature.” It gave focus to several topics related to events, ideas, and attitudes intrinsic to the understanding of the Transition but also to the period preceding it. The participants offered their analyses of how the changes in the social and political order were reflected in the literature, the public consciousness, the media, theatre, and film, among others.
