Summary/Abstract: In "Kafka's Reception in Bulgaria until 1989" Mladen Vlashki combines the modern theory of cultural transfer with the sociological theories of the field and with the system theory. The monograph presents the most essential characteristic of the writer's work, against the background of which the hypothesis of future difficulties in front of Kafka's reception in view of the literary field in Bulgaria acquires density. A solid reconstruction of the trajectories of Kafka's reception in France, England and the United States has been made, which imposes it as a classic of modernity. Compared to the reception in other socialist countries and in the context of the Cold War, additional factors determining the Bulgarian reactions are revealed. Emphasis is placed on the "cases" Minko Nikolov and Dimitar Stoevski.
