Acad. Prof. Dr. Mihail Arnaudov is one of the great Bulgarian scholars and literary historians. His name is well known not only in our country, but also abroad. For many years he was a full professor at Sofia State University and the head of the Department of General Literary History. Arnaudov was a beloved and respected university lecturer. His lectures were listened to with great interest by students. He patronized many of them in life. Acad. Arnaudov was a sweet-talking and fascinating storyteller. With his pathetic, lively and inspired speech, he always captivated the audience. The reading rooms and public universities could barely accommodate the listeners who were thirsty for more knowledge. His rare scientific erudition made a deep impression on me.
