Времена и пространства в „Блянове край Акропола“ на Димитър Шишманов
Times and Spaces in „Dreams by Acropolis“ by Dimitar Shishmanov

Summary/Abstract: The paper is focused on the interpretation of time and space in Dimitar Shishmanov’s short story cycle “Dreams near Acropolis” (1938). In the book time is neither linear, the way it is assumed to be in the biblical concept, nor cyclical, as how it is understood in ancient times. In “Dreams near Acropolis” time has multiple layers and each layer of time, with its space, is superimposed over the others. The arrangement and logic of the plot lies in the dimension of dreams. The moderator of time and space is Wandering Jew Ahasver – a guest in the dreams of the main character – the writer Dimitar Shishmanov. The main idea introduced in the book is the man as the bearer of his time.
