About the author
Ivan Vazov
109 books102 followersIvan Minchov Vazov was a Bulgarian poet, novelist and playwright, often referred to as "the Patriarch of Bulgarian literature". He was born in Sopot, a town in the Rose Valley of Bulgaria (then part of the Ottoman Empire). The works of Ivan Vazov reveal two historical epochs - the Bulgarian Renaissance and the Post-Liberation (from Ottoman Empire rule) epoch. Ivan Vazov holds the highest honorary title of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences - Academician. He acted as Education and People Enlightenment Minister from September 7, 1897 until January 30th, 1899, representing the People's Party.
Vazov was probably heavily influenced by Botev, who was the ideological leader of the Bulgarian revolutionary movement. He started writing his famous poems with Botev and some other Bulgarian emigrants in Romania. In 1876 he published his first work, Priaporetz and Gusla, followed by "Bulgaria's Sorrows" in 1877.
Bulgaria regained its independence in 1878 as a result of the Russo-Turkish War and Vazov wrote the famous Epic of the Forgotten. He became the editor of the political reviews Science and Dawn. He was, however, forced into exile once again, this time to Odessa, because of the persecution of the russophile political faction. Returning to Bulgaria with the help of his mother Suba Vazova, he started teaching. Vazov's next stay was in Svishtov, where he became a civil servant.
n 1917 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature

Иван Вазов си е Иван Вазов. Романът е перфектен. Описания, обстановка, интриги, любов. Авторът използвая всички похвати, които правят едно произведение завладяващо. Изключително богатият му език прави разточителните описания интересни, а не оттегчителни, но това всички го знаят.
И все пак нещо му липсва. Повествованието стои някак си на сила, сякаш няма сърце зад идеално шлифования текст. Може само на мен така да ми се струва, но ако го сравним с "Под Игото" или "Немили-недраги." Естествено е бурната епоха в която е живял и идеите с които е туптяло сърцето му да го трогват повече.
Интересно, че не споменава татарският плен на Светослав Тертер. Ще трябва да поровя в историческите писания, за да добия лична представа за тази част от историята.
При всички положения, всяко нещо от Вазов си заслужава да се прочете от всеки българин.
По-малко от четири звезди не мога да дам
