Summary/Abstract: The text provides a retrospective overview of possible Bulgarian nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature, focusing on some of the real proposals as well as on names that were simply considered as potential candidates. It tries to judge the real chances of all these authors, and also explores the reasons for their failure. Special attention is paid to the trends in contemporary Bulgarian literature – the text discusses the tendency to regionalism, but also the attempts of Bulgarian writers to go beyond it and to examine universal human problems that open up new chances for them.
