Portrait of an Artist, or Adam Mickiewicz in the Eyes of Pencho Slaveykov: Władysław Mickiewicz’s Discovered Letter

Summary/Abstract: The text is an introduction to a Letter by Władysław Mickiewicz (1838–1926) discovered in the Petko and Pencho Slaveykov Museum in Sofia and addressed to Pencho Slaveykov (1866–1912), the Bulgarian modernist, outstanding poet and critic. The Letter reveals a fragment of the potential correspondence between Mickiewicz and Slaveykov, but also compels us to invoke the context of very extensive Polish-Bulgarian contacts and the extremely interesting perception of the oeuvre of Adam Mickiewicz (1798–1855), especially Pan Tadeusz and Forefathers’ Eve, in Bulgaria.
