The purpose of the research is to examine some of the specifics of Dobri Nemirov’s writing – an author who remained in the margins of Bulgarian literature. The focus is on his novel “Brothers” (1927), in which problems and themes characteristic of all of Nemirov’s fiction are noticed, but also general questions for the literature of the 20s of the 20th century – the problem of native and foreign, the disintegration of the family and kin. At the heart of “Brothers” is the theme of sin. The heroes fall victim to their own passions and torments, at the head of which are greed and envy. Thus, the novel is placed in an intertextual relationship with the short novels “Earth” and “The Geraks” by Elin Pelin.
