Summary/Abstract: In the short review of Georgi Stalev’s works, in The History of Macedonian Literature of the 20th Century, Miodrag Drugovac considers that “the lyrical play Sick Dojchin (1971) is a text that portrays the Macedonian past through legendary suggestions. Transforming the motive about Sick Dojchin, contrary to the heroic ground of the epic poem, Stalev’ s play transforms into introspective discourse about the suffering of the human soul. This puts Georgi Stalev among the first authors from the contemporary Macedonian drama literature who have created modern tragedy. Especially in this context, we can discuss the theoretically- terminologically and literary-aesthetical specification of these plays as modern-ones.
