The large color panel of the panoramic painting usually unfolds as a chronicle of a bygone era. As the greater and lesser artists appear before our eyes, they present to some extent the overall artistic development. However, conclusions are needed that illuminate the vast perspective of the past phenomena in more relief. The main differences, the original and distinctive features stand out best through model 1 of the literary process. On the one hand, it distances the details, avoids excessive complexity, so as not to repeat the process, on the other, by not breaking away from the broad plans, it captures what distinguishes our artistic creation from the creation of other peoples, which is our contribution to world literature. Let me say in advance that it is extremely difficult to establish the unique in a national poetics depending on the changes in the national psyche. It is easy to point out that the world in our country became different with the advent of printing or later - of bicycles and motor vehicles. It is more difficult to grasp the spirit of the times, the intimate and the special in literature that has lacked stability, since each new time has broken something of what was bequeathed. But let us also unfold this page and delve into issues touched upon here and there sporadically, without claiming to be exhaustive.

Few are left of those writers who forty or fifty years ago took a direct part in the creation of a great critical-realist literature in Germany. More of the great writers are now deceased - we mourn the loss of Heinrich and Thomas Mann, Feuchtwanger, Döblin, Hesse, Leonhard Frank, and also Brecht, Becher and Wolf. Born in 1887 - the above-mentioned writers were either born shortly before him or were his contemporaries - Arnold Zweig knew them all and accompanied them in their aspirations; a ray of the radiance of this great age of art and enlightenment falls on him. He is one of its last torchbearers, a writer in whom spiritual breadth, traditionalism and a connection with the future are happily combined.

The First World War and the October Revolutions changed the entire course of world history and inevitably gave a new direction to art. The blow that shook and changed the world fell on the bourgeois-aesthetic thought of the pre-war decade and cleared the way for new ideological and artistic searches. In Bulgarian literature, a new, deeply reviving process of returning to real life, to the fighting cries of the street, to the baked soil of the black earth, to the life-giving juices of the earth began to mature. The October Revolution, which pushed the spiritual development of the peoples along a new path, played a fateful role for the Bulgarian people as well, determining to a large extent their further economic and cultural development. It is enough to glance at our literature of those years to feel the irresistible power of the revolution, to feel the reviving power of the new and spiritual engines.
