Следи от стъпките на дявола (Николай Райнов като предшественик на българския диаболизъм)
Traces of the Devil’s Steps (Nikolay Raynov as a Precursor of Bulgarian Diabolism)

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the particularities of Bulgarian diabolism and the role of Nikolay Raynov’s works as its direct predecessor. A man of all-round education, the highly gifted Nikolay Raynov opened new directions in a new way and style of writing and expression; he entered into themes and images that are akin to the mysterious by their aestheticization of dark motifs and destructive symbols touching upon the mystical and the exotic. Although Raynov was not overly in favor of the works of the diabolical writers, a considerable portion of his works in fact expresses man’s dualistic nature, the doubts and fears underlying the dominant themes of the exotic and mystical, which were poured into his categorical creative works.
