Българската мемоарна литература след 1990 г. Преходът през спомените на Тошо Тошев, Георги Мишев, Евгений Дайнов
The Memoir Literature in Bulgaria after 1990. The Transition period through the Memories of Tosho Toshev, Georgi Mishev, Evgeniy Daynov

Summary/Abstract: Based on Mamardashvili’s words that “the meaning of the past is happening in the present,” we would like to investigate in what way the contemporaries of the period after 1990, period of transition from socialism to democracy, remember this time, and how do they interpret the events of the past from the perspective of the present. After a research on the published Bulgarian memoir literature from the year of 1990 to the year of 2018, based on a detailed list from the Collaborated Online Bibliographic System and Services (COBISS), we have chosen three authors of memoirs, whose books we are going to analyze in details. We have chosen these authors by two criteria: 1) their active participation in the social and political life of the country, both in the first years after 1990, and until today; and 2) the three authors are representatives of professions which are connected in some way with the words and writing. In this paper we are going to analyze the memoirs of the journalist and publisher Tosho Toshev, the writer Georgi Mishev and the political scientist Evgeniy Dainov. Our main goal is to analyze how do they see and interpret the period after the 1990, in their memoirs.
