THE THEME OF MACEDONIA AND HAIDUSHKI KOPNENIYA BY YAVOROV – POSSIBLE CONTEXTS 

Prof. Tsvetan Rakyovski, DSc 

(Abstract) 

The article is about the memoir book by the Bulgarian poet Yavorov – Haidushki kopneniya (Haidouk Longings). It is placed in a broad cultural context – the struggle for Macedoniaʼs liberation and the resonance and journalistic activity around these events in Bulgaria. Yavorovʼs book is not a veritable memoir, because it has a powerful lyrical stream. 

On the other hand, the influence of the novel genre is quite strong in it. The article analyzes important compositional features of this text. They are interesting because when Yavorovʼs memoirs first appeared in the periodicals, they were of one kind, which changed after they were assembled and organized as parts of a single text (Haidushki kopneniya).
