Cromo-simbolistică în literatura bulgară contemporană
Colour Symbolism in Bulgarian Contemporary Literature

Summary/Abstract: Beyond their specific properties, colours encompass a vast array of symbolical,social, as well as religious meanings, which may vary greatly from one culture to another, and are not at all universal. They can represent physical or moral traits, convey gestures, states of mind and spirit. The authors' predilection for „colorful titles” suggest their multiple symbolism and diverse interpretation. In the work of the Bulgarian writers discussed in this paper (Gheorghi Gospodinov, Teodora Dimova, Zahari Karabashliev) the chromatic symbols preserve their entire traditional value, but they evolve however toward knowledge and exploration.
