Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the changes in the perception of environmental issues in the Czech and the Bulgarian context, from the time of the transition from socialism to capitalism to the most recent times. Against the background of social changes, the article focuses on literary texts that specifically reflect on the environment. The main thesis is that we can trace the social marginalization of environmental themes, which were among the fundamental ones in the transition period, and their rediscovery in the most recent literature. This change is also related to the shift from local issues and problems to a global perspective, where literature offers one of the ways of expressing climate grief.
