VISIBILITY BEYOND THE VISIBLE: AMERICAN TRANSCENDENTALISM AND/IN BULGARIAN CULTURE Albena Bakratcheva web In the process of spiritual emancipation which called forth the political change of 1989, the writings of the American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau acquired a peculiar, hardly ever expected significance in Bulgaria. His social ideas and the spiritual horizons of his philosophy of life closely corresponded to the painful need of the individual in a so-called "socialist country" for outward and inward emancipation: a need most torturous for the intellectuals. So, if "there is hardly an ism of our times that has not attempted to adopt Thoreau," then it was the "anti-ism" to Bulgarian totalitarianism that provided most of the preconditions for Thoreau's reception in Bulgaria in the last communist decades and especially during our "velvet revolution" and immediately afterwards. The long lasting compulsory spiritual fasting during the years of communism needed a counterbalance mainly in terms of stressing the role and capabilities of the individual. In his inability to face and cope with the intolerable reality every spiritually elevated person found the only way to salvation to be the rediscovery of inward, spiritual spaces; Travelling Towards Oneself , the title of an outstanding Bulgarian novel of the sixties, acquired a symbolic significance for the decades to come. With circumstances like these Thoreau could duly satisfy the urge for spiritual survival. Things being much more complicated, indeed, the fact remains that Civil Disobedience did slip into the publication flow of 1981 and appeared to be one of the first public announcements of the approaching change. Walden, however, never got among these translations until after the political change; with no Bulgarian translation available under totalitarianism, Thoreau's masterpiece acquired even the additional charm of a self-discovered book about self emancipation. Post-totalitarianism was to reveal later on the depths of this uniquely bred Thoreauvian renaissance. No one at the time was aware, however, that there were earlier responses in our culture to Thoreau's spirituality and stylistic mastery.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU AND THE SPIRITUAL EMANCIPATION IN BULGARIA Albena Bakratcheva web Henry David Thoreau's name became one of great significance in Bulgaria's recent political and intellectual history. His social ideas and the spiritual atmosphere of his writings thoroughly corresponded to the painful need of the individual in a so-called "socialist country" for outward and inward emancipation: a need most torturous for the intellectuals, indeed. If "there is hardly an ism of our times that has not attempted to adopt Thoreau..." , then it was the "anti-ism" to Bulgarian socialism that provided many preconditions for Thoreau's reception in Bulgaria in the last three decades and especially after the political change in 1989. The long lasting compulsory spiritual fasting during the years of socialism needed a counterbalance mainly in terms of stressing the role and the capabilities of the individual. In his inability to face and cope with the intolerable reality every spiritually elevated person found the only way to salvation to be the rediscovery of inward, spiritual spaces; Travelling Towards Oneself It will be the task here to trace the reception steps of Thoreau's works in Bulgaria's twentieth century cultural and political history and thus to outline their significance for the processes of spiritual democratization in Bulgaria as a part of the ex-East European bloc.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Petko Slaveykov is one of the most prominent bulgarian poets, he is also a folklorist, journalist, political leader, tribune of the people. Petko Rachev Slaveykov (1827-1895) was all of these. A father of another famous Bulgarian poet - Pencho Slaveykov - he was, following the liberation of Bulgaria, a politician and a states-man. His use of the Bulgarian vernacular marks a turning point in the literature and culture of the country. "For the People" is, in effect, the poet's own story. It was written about 1880. For the People by Petko Slaveykov Ideals were what I went by- Everything else I reckoned a wrong, Possessing them, I ignored even myself, In the world, I saw not the world. All the time I watched over others, Right, I told myself, it must be right, My own works I delayed- Other's I did first.

Bulgarian Currency 1999- The unit of currency in Bulgaria is the lev, divided into 100 stotinki. The Bulgarian National Bank is the bank of issue and handles government funds and state-owned enterprises. On the 5th of July, 1999, the Bulgarian National Bank acted on the previously announced re-denomination of the Bulgarian Lev by introducing new banknotes and coins. The Bulgarian Council of Ministers together with the National Assembly passed and enacted a package of laws and decrees outlining and regulating the re-denomination well before the 5th of July, 1999. Starting at 12:00 am on Monday, the 5th of July, 1999, the Bulgarian lev was substituted by a new lev in a ratio of 1,000:1. That is to say, as of that date 1,000 old leva equaled 1 new lev (equal to 1 Deutsche Mark, 0.51 Euro or US$ 0.55). The re-denomination went into effect for all prices in leva - goods, services, bank accounts, and savings bonds. Until December 31st, 1999, all prices must be stated both in new and old leva; after that date, all prices will be stated in new leva only. The entire process was performed in order to facilitate all payments, as well as all accounting and exchange operations. Simultaneously with the re-denomination, the Bulgarian National Bank began to circulate new banknotes and coins. Beginning on July 5th, 1999, there were 6 new coins and 6 new banknotes in circulation. Until December 31st, 1999, all individuals and sales persons are obliged to accept both old and new banknotes and coins; after that date, the old currency may be exchanged for new one at any branch of the BNB.

Friday, 4 June 2004 19:56 Back Print History and Culture The territory of Bulgaria has been inhabited since the earliest historical times: the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Age. Archaeological discoveries from that time have been made near Karlovo, in the region of the towns of Nova Zagora, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Sofia, Teteven, Troyan and in the Rhodope Mountains. The oldest gold treasure in the world, discovered near Varna, is dated to that time. During the Bronze Age the present-day Bulgarian lands were inhabited by the Thracians, mentioned for the first time by Homer. They were engaged in agriculture and stockbreeding, and left evidence of a rich culture (the Vulchitrun gold treasure). The first Thracian state unions emerged in the 11th-6th centuries BC, which flourished in the 7th-6th centuries BC. In the 1st century BC their lands were conquered by Rome, and after the 5th century AD they were incorporated in the Byzantine Empire. The Thracians were later gradually assimilated by the Slavs who settled in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century AD. In the second half of the 7th century, the Proto-Bulgarians - an ethnic community of Turkic origin - settled on the territory of the present-day Northeastern Bulgaria. In alliance with the Slavs they formed the Bulgarian State, which was recognised by the Byzantine Empire in 681 AD. Khan Asparouh stood at the head of that state and Pliska was made its capital.

Travel Guides Bulgaria Sredna Gora Sredna Gora Travel Guide Email this travel guide to a friend: … So, proudly you may gaze Unto the Sredna Gora, the forest's single queen, And hear the ring of swords, and all this song can mean … - Pencho Slaveykov, The Song of the Blood The Sredna Gora or "Central Highlands" stretch from the Pancharevo defile outside Sofia almost as far as Yambol on the Thracian plain. With its forests of oak and beech and numerous caves and hot springs, the region was inhabited by humans as early as the fifth millennium BC. The Thracians subsequently left a hoard of gold treasure at Panagyurishte (since moved to the National History Museum in Sofia), and the Romans a crop of ruins at Hisar , but for Bulgarians, the Sredna Gora is best known as the "land of the April Rising", which started in Koprivshtitsa . For tourists, too, this town is the region's highlight, its peerless National Revival architecture and pastoral beauty making it a must-see. Lying roughly midway between Sofia and Plovdiv, the Sredna Gora is a popular excursion from both towns. During the summer, a daily bus service connects Sofia with Koprivshtitsa, although there is a more frequent train service, running along the main line between Sofia and Burgas (a connecting bus meets services). Panagyurishte is served by buses from Sofia and trains from Plovdiv, while Hisar can be reached by bus from Karlovo in the Valley of the Roses, or by train from Plovdiv. However

Travel Guides Bulgaria Bulgaria Travel Guide Email this travel guide to a friend: In many ways, Bulgaria remains the unknown country of the Balkans. Less newsworthy than the former Yugoslavia, and less heavily touristed than neighbouring Greece and Turkey, it's a place that brings few distinct images to mind. Despite being the site of extensive Black Sea package resorts and the source of several good wines, it's all too often dismissed as the dour place it was before 1989, when it served as one of the Soviet Union's most loyal East European allies. As with many little-known destinations, however, there's a great deal to discover here: much of Bulgaria is like an open-air museum of Balkan culture, with beautifully decorated churches, fine mosques, wonderfully preserved rustic villages and a great deal of enduring folklore. The mountainous interior makes it one of the top hiking destinations of Europe, while over on the Black Sea coast, the white-sand beaches are just as magnificent in reality as they look in the tourist brochures. Bulgarians are frustrated by their country's lack of a clearly defined image abroad. Heirs to one of Europe's great civilizations, and guardians of Balkan Christian traditions, they have a keen sense of national identity distilled by centuries of turbulent history. In a constantly repeating cycle of grandeur, decline and national rebirth, successive Bulgarian states have striven to dominate the Balkan peninsula before succumbing to defeat and foreign tutelage, only to be regenerated by patriotic resistance to outside control.

This is a page dedicated to the Bulgarian section of the Project Gutenberg What is Project Gutenberg (PG)? To put it in a nutshell, PG is the oldest and most venerable online project dedicated to publishing whole texts of books on the Internet. In fact it originated 30 years ago, long before the Internet boom. You can read about it here: Project Gutenberg: Official Site or here Project Gutenberg or How Do the Electronic Libraries of the Future Originate? Who are you? I have the honour to be the Team Leader of the Bulgarian Team, a group of volunteers who are trying to put as many Bulgarian texts as possible into the PG archives. What is your goal? Our major goal is to popularize the Bulgarian literature and culture. That is why we include Bulgarian texts into the PG archives. These are scanned or typed texts in plain txt format. For the time being we have concentrated our efforts on the Bulgarian classical literature. We are still at the very beginning and everybody who wishes to join us is WELCOME! How can I participate?
