Author(s): Vanya Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The present text focuses on the question of the "ultimate" observing authority in the "The drool of the devil". This is an attempt to study who is the biggest, the highest, the most real viewer that is present? Who is the "true master" of the story? The narrative, the author, the heroes, the reader, the one in the center of the sphere? The answer is to be sought in “The drool of the devil” or “The Devil's Drool”, also commonly known as “Blow-up” – after Antonioni’s film which it inspired.

Изложения и кланици (България, Чикаго, Париж)

Author(s): Zhivko Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The essay discusses the travelogue To Chicago and Back by juxtaposing it to Oriental slaughterhouses and the modern slaughterhouse of the New world. Amidst the glamour of expositions (Aleko Konstantinov visited Paris (1889) and Chicago (1893) but described Chicago only), there crop up the questions “what is the future” and “what is the New world”. The basic anxiety is “where is the world going” and “well, when are we going to live” which appeared when Aleko Konstantinov encountered the images of the Columbian Exposition, the slaughterhouses, Bellamy’s novel Looking Backward and the description of Paris upon his return from the New world. During his entire trip around America Aleko remembers Paris but continues to avoid describing it. The promise that he would do so in 1900 (a new World exposition in Paris) remained hypothetical (he was killed in 1897). But the trip to Paris was combined with a round-the-world one, i.e. again a visit on the way. In the flame of progress he detected coldness; there was a chill discernible in the picture of the coming modern world. The problematics of “when are we going to live” is important in the context of American, European and Balkan culture. On the other hand, it was precisely in America that the idea for the most emblematic of Aleko Konstantinov’s works appeared, i.e. Baj Ganyo. The essay compares the visions of the future in the context of the Paris and Columbian World Expositions.

Tradition – Innovation in the Lyrics of Besik Gabashvili, a Georgian Poet of the Renaissance Period

Author(s): Tamar Gogoladze,Ketevan Barbakadze / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The lyrics of Besik (Besarion) Gabashvili (1750 – 1791), a poet of the royal court and a diplomat was quite popular in the Georgian poetry of the XVIII - XIX centuries. Due to Georgian political events his fate got somehow related to the city Iaşi, Romania, where the poet is buried. In the period of activity of Georgian – Romanian relations, in the 70s of the XX century, a collection of poems “Armies of Sadness”, where the poet`s 25 poems are included, was translated into Romanian language by Georgian (G. Jinjikhashvili and L. Kochladze) and Romanian (Dumitru M. Ion) translators.Thus, we decided to focus on the lyrics of a famous poet Besarion Gabashvili, who is very popular among the Georgians and more or less familiar to the Romanians. He was the poet who finished the love lyrics, dictated by Eastern motifs, and marked with traditional Georgian signs; the lyrics, which is full of new metaphors, inspired to seek real, specific poetic faces from the “book-mannered” expression of love. The novelty, as the research showed us, is represented by an amazingly proper, highly artistic poetic word. Its sad disposition appeared to accompany the lyrics of Romanticists as well, and it did not lose its importance up to the present day. In the XX century, the lyrics of Besarion Gabashvili was taught in the secondary school for 70 years, and in the higher institutions his works are an integral part of the education course “Georgian Literature 1”.In the current paper we focus on his lyrics in the context of world literary processes.

O doświadczeniu śmierci w poezji Edy Ostrowskiej

Author(s): Katarzyna Niesporek-Klanowska / Language(s): English,Polish Publication Year: 0

Eda Ostrowska is a poet who contemplates death of her life. In the words of Stefan Chwin from the book Suicide as an Experience of Imagination, Ostrowska knows too much about the dark side of life, sees what she shouldn’t, strongly feels the pain and exceeds the designated limit of the risk. Ostrowska is rejected by society as a genuine stranger, the outsider still thinking about death. She has a strong awareness of dying, obvious transience which she expresses not only in the poetry but also in the diary I Stand in Front of You in the Body Rain. Lonely, misunderstood by people Ostrowska is living, but constantly dying. Convinced of the value of being on the other side but not having the courage to end up with her life, she finds narcotic alternative spaces which allow her to exist on the edge, to dice with death and life.
