The Jois and Sorrows of Bulgarian Bohemianism Portraits of Translators
Emiliya Makedonska
Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria emakedonska@mail.bg
With this book, the author Emil Bassat tries to cover the images of Bulgarian translators from the Czech language. In portrait-surveys conducted entirely on the Internet, he presents us the best Bulgarian bohemians who have dedicated their lives to translation work. Without pretensions to comprehensiveness, the book also reflects Bulgarian-Czech cultural contacts. According to the author, this is a “book-confession of love for the Czech Republic and Czech culture” and he hopes that it will arouse interest among the bohemian community in Bulgaria, and also among all those who are interested in the reception of Czech literature in our country.
Keywords: Czech language, Translation, Czech literature, Czech Republic, Bohemianism, Czech culture
