Диалогът на разкази и картинки в „Княз и чума“ – един сравнително късен авангардистки проект на 1931 г.
The Dialogue of Stories and Pictures

Summary/Abstract: in "Prince and Plague – a Relatively Late Avant-garde Project of 1931" Nikolay Rainov is one of the greatest experimenters of Bulgarian literature not justin terms of style but in terms of genre as well. His late modernist project Prince andPlague, with ‘fearful fairy tales’ and illustrations, is among the most daring ones ofthe fading Bulgarian avant-garde. Published in two carefully designed books witha thematic series of drawings and pictures, these works have not yet found theiradequate interpretation. Announced as children books, they obviously seek for anaudience more radical in its thoughts and senses. Art historians have often definedthese works as ‘secessionist’ but no doubt they could be placed somewhere betweenthe extreme expressionism and the surrealism.
