Диаболичното в романа „Ян Бибиян. Невероятни приключения на едно хлапе“
The Diabolical in the Novel “Yan Bibiyan. The Amazing Adventures of a Kid”

Summary/Abstract: The following text explores Elin-Pelin’s novel “Jan Bibiyan. The Amazing Adventures of a Kid” in relation to diabolism. Although it is defined as literature for children, the novel bears many of the characteristics most typical of diabolic literature. This paper discovers and analyzes these features in order to offer an additional and unusual reading of the book. In doing so, the article, on the one hand, examines the extent to which the novel can be conceived only as a children's book, and, on the other, demonstrates that Elin Pelin is an author who can also be considered as part of the dynamics of the interwar period in Bulgarian literature.
