Dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the birth of Vassil Levski, this collection gathers in one place the research efforts of literary writers and historians. The aim is tracing the way of the narrative about the historical personality to the sacred status of the national icon of the Apostle. The achieving of this scientific task intertwines the poetry of the "canonization strategist" (Hristo Botev), the words of today's lyricists, the memory of the associates, the "written by the hand of the Apostle", the results of an Olympiad in Taraklia (Moldova), the English press, the today’s children book and even the name of a mystical regiment The research efforts face the mystery of Apostle’s path into and out of monasticism, the words of veterans and philosophers, the ode and the rhapsody, the camera and the paint brush, the sound and the letter... To draw a never-ending journey, that will forever - and everywhere, accompany the Bulgarian spirit.

The text attempts to reconstruct the beginning of the Bulgarian heroic epic. The author believes that the structure of the author‘s epic was invented by Hristo Botev and was later extended by Ivan Vazov. Vasil Levski‘s figure is met in both poets, but while Vazov writes the live of the Deacon like a saint, Botev carries out his literary canonization according to all ritual procedures and turns it into the Bulgarian Jesus.

The year 1898 marked the first jubilee of Vasil Levski – 25 years since his hanging. The dynamics of political processes in liberated Bulgaria at the time present a rather interesting and particularly complex picture against the background of which this event unfolded. The stereotype of jubilee celebrations was yet to consolidate and this particular occasion – the anniversary since the death of the Apostle of freedom – makes visible the deep political contradictions inherited from previous historical realities. The manifestations of these contradictions can be seen in the press in 1898.

The paper examines for the first time the initial reception of Vasil Levski’s image and significance in the British daily and weekly press in the period 1867 – 1908. Commencing with a curious case of the first appearance of his name in the British press, the paper focusses further on press contributions reporting on a series of Bulgarian state ceremonies and commemorative events that, on the one hand, function as rituals of state iconisation of the Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski and, on the other hand, exploit his high status for political purposes. In its final part the paper presents the first critical voices in the British press against the political instrumentalisation of Vasil Levski’s image in Bulgaria.

The essay attempts to juxtapose and analyze the divergent and often contradictory stories accompanying Vasil Kunchev’s path into and out of monasticism, his subsequent religiosity, and his Christian consciousness. It outlines the image of a man experiencing doubts and inner conflicts but preserving his faith. His letters and proclamations clearly reveal how the knowledge of Christianity he had received and his life of faith shaped his revolutionary philosophy.

The present paper entitled “Exaltaions about Name: or, Two Contemporary Anthologies Dedicated to the Apostle and Beyond Them” comments the existence/non-existence of interest about the historical figure and life's work of Vasil Levski as a thematic field in Bulgarian poetry in the last few years. The observations, made on the basis of separate works of art, books and virtual sites, are a scientific attempt to outline the profile of current trends. These trends are combining aesthetic and socio-political attitudes towards the figure of the Bulgarian national hero.

The current publication presents the activity of the Vasil Levski National Museum aimed at achieving two important tasks.The first task is the formation of a truthful idea of the personality of Vasil Levski in the youngest visitors of the museum, aimed at creating a sound basis for the development of further knowledge of his personality and his role in Bulgarian history. This task is being realized by two books targeted at children and pupils, producedby the museum, as well as the work of the museum’s children center. The second task is popularizing the personality of Vasil Levski as one of the greatest European revolutionaries of the 19th century among the international audience.The emphasis here are two museum editions – a book for Levski translated in eight languages and a book (in Bulgarian only) about the greatest European revolutionaries and thinkers among his contemporaries, at the time when he lived and fought for Bulgarian freedom and for his democratic ideas.

Born into a socially conservative but intellectually liberal family, Maitreyi was the daughter of scholar-philosopher Surendranath Dasgupta and Himani Madhuri Rai ( sister of Himanshu Rai, owner/ founder of Bombay Talkies). Her early childhood corresponded with the trying years of the First World War while in her youth she was exposed to the political lessons of the Second World War — to fascist Italy, to the Hitlerite regime in Germany, to Stalinist and post-Stalinist Russia, to Republican and communist China — when Maitreyi, was perceived as a left-wing sympathiser. This was the era of the emergence of nation-states, of obsessive nationalism and revolts against hegemonic and capitalist forces. As an intimate protégée of Rabindranath Tagore, wherever she travelled, to China, Russia, Eastern and Western Europe, she practised the transnationalism that marked out the travelogues of Tagore. This meant that both colonial perceptions and the nation-state centric approach were disrupted by discourses of inter-connectedness that in turn challenged conceptual boundaries of difference and ethnicity
