Horvat-Kish for Bulgaria. Travel notes from 1911.

When Bulgaria was completely liberated in 1878, the Croats also exclaimed with joy and gradually began to come to the liberated land as artists, teachers, merchants and tourists. A large number of Bulgarians, especially during the period between the two world wars, studied at the University of Zagreb, and many of them visited Croatia throughout our century. There are two main reasons for these mutual visits: first - the beauty of the two lands, second - the feeling of Slavic solidarity. The Croatian writer Franjo Horvat-Kiš (1876-1924) visited Bulgaria in mid-July 1911 and about this trip he left a very interesting but little-known travelogue entitled "Seen and Unseen", Zagreb, 1911. Since I, more than half a century after him, spent in Bulgaria not two days, like Horvat-Kiš, but three months, I would like to present to the readers Horvat's travel notes with a few of my explanations and additions. His and my attitude towards this sympathetic country is the same: objective, mixed with elements of sincere sympathy.
