A book about the character of the Bulgarian. "Bulgarians" by Efrem Karanfilov

When we talk or write about our national character, about the character of the Bulgarian in its various shades and nuances, we tend to think that we can easily exhaust the question - we will say not about his modesty and hard work, about his courage and firmness, about his honesty and hospitality... But when we want to delve into the details, into the depth and essence of this problem, we suddenly encounter complex, difficult-to-solve questions, with a whole labyrinth of unexplored, unsuspected and surprisingly intertwined connections and relationships, with psychological mysteries and contradictory situations. This complexity is equally valid for scientific, historical and journalistic works that concern features of the characterology of the Bulgarian, as well as for works of art that recreate the characters of Bulgarians. We will encounter an amazing variety of interpretations, points of view, views, opinions and judgments.
