Summary/Abstract: The contemporary fundamental positions on literary history are a prism towards the reading of a completely forgotten newspaper – Zov ( „Зов“ ), a weekly for art, which was published for less than a month in 1921. However, the short-lived periodical was a platform for some of the most significant authors of the 1920s and 1930s in Bulgaria – these are critics and poets who belonged mainly to the group around the literary journal Vezni („Везни“) but also to communities that debated with it. Immediately after the First World War, the contributors of Zov took an active part in the intensive and controversial critical dialogues about the state and the paths of contemporary Bulgarian literature, they worked to create a model of a literary newspaper in Bulgaria and demonstrated how marginality worked for a vigorous cultural process. In this study unknown to the contemporary philological public works are analysed and a few unknown articles by Nikolay Raynov, Vasil Pundev, Konstantin Konstantinov and Geo Milev are republished for the first time.
