Summary/Abstract: The text attempts to point out the main contributions of Alek Popov’s writing both in terms of the development of contemporary Bulgarian literature and the interest he provoked in translators of Bulgarian literature. The most important characteristics of Popov’s handwriting – convertibility, multilayeredness, humour, satire, irony, and skill in plotting – are also pointed out. Special attention is paid to his rehabilitation of the genre of the short story, as well as some of his cult novels – Mission London and the two-volume work on the Palaveevi sisters.
