Vazov's "Uncles" - a long-gone world of primitive idyll and naive aspirations. A world in which the last echo of the great events of a bygone era is dying down... Here the fashion for the malakof arrived 15 years late, and the name of Bonaparte, after a 45-year journey, first became known under the form of Gunaparti. At a time when Europe already knew Balzac and Tolstoy, here tears were still shed over "Long-suffering Genoveva" and "Alexandria". In order to thunder in the patriotic song "Proud Nikifor Asked", the sounds of the Marseillaise had traveled for 72 years. Somewhere in the Balkans, Philip Totyu's detachment is fighting. Botev has already written "At Farewell". But here the heroes are absorbed in the epic quarrel over a cap and compose "satires" against each other. The subject of the story has become the most insignificant thing that can offer us in the face of the liberation reality, that which history contemptuously closes its pages before.
