Summary/Abstract: This study examines the debut collection of short stories by the Bulgarian writer Angel Karaliychev in the context of the interwar ideological upheavals, as a result of which the latter acquired ambiguous evaluations in post-war Marxist criticism. The analysis of the stories aims at placing them in a broader ideological context, shying away from political definitions, without ignoring their undeniable leftist slant. The chosen interpretative angle establishes Angel Karaliychev as a writer with a distinctly mythographic approach to the evaluation of the tragic events of September 1923, which were a central point of development in the writer's creative path, as well as in that of many other writers of leftist persuasion.
