Abstract: The purpose of this article is an analysis of Emiliyan Stanev's historical and philosophical novels - primarily Legend of Sibin, the Prince of Preslav and Tihik and Naziriy, which contain obvious allusions to social maladies of the communist regime. Although Stanev was very close to the communist leader Todor Zhivkov in the 1960s and 1970s, just these two novels could be interpreted as an allegory and criticism of egalitarianism, cultural "gleichschaltung" and enforeval Bogomilism as a previous historic stage of classless society, and shows its inner social problems. The storylines of both historical novels indicate symptomatic allusions to the contemporary communist society in The People's Republic of Bulgaria. |
