Военновременната действителност: между трагизма и естетиката. Йордан Йовков
The wartime reality: between tragedy and aesthetics. Yordan Yovkov

Summary/Abstract: This article suggests an attempt for an analysis of the fiction world of some important Yordan Yovkov’s military short stories. Its aim is studying of main problematic and motive centres, which compose them. They are divided into two main semantic entities – the characters (in their coexistence) in the war conditions of life and the moral reflection in the rear. The human destiny is interpreted in the context of existential dimensions of the combat experience. The strategies for sojourn and survival in the destructive war-time realities are also studied. The state of mind of the main characters is analyzed through the semantic orders duty–exploit–selflessness and love–grief–thought.
