"I am sad that I am leaving without having given the people what they should have"... - these are the last words of the writer Georgi Raichev, spoken in the hospital room a few hours before his death. There is nothing more painful and depressing for a creator than the consciousness that he has not fulfilled his task, that he has not given his people all his strength, all his talent, all his heart... Georgi Raichev dies with such a tragic consciousness of an unfulfilled duty, tormented by the thought that he has wasted something of himself, something of his talent. Is there any reason for the writer to make such a confession in the last moments of his life? Did he really not create "what he should have" and what he could have created? The author of "Tiny World", "Lina" and "Sin" occupies a prominent place in our fiction. He is not one of our greatest writers, but he is one of the most original and diverse. Nature has generously endowed him with a true, subtle sense of what is significant in life, and with a bright, original gift for embodying the manifold manifestations of the human spirit, and with a true, artistic sense of color and language... But the overall creative development of Georgi Raichev convinces us that he has not fully realized all his talents. Only in his most beautiful works, and they are not very numerous, does he remain true to himself. It is not uncommon for him to betray his talent, take foreign, steep and impassable paths that tire him with their sharp turns, their dangerous winding paths and their insurmountable obstacles, unnecessarily enslave himself to fashion, throw himself headlong and recklessly into contradictory passions that suck out much of his vital creative forces. It seems that he did not want to remain within the limits of his capabilities, he strove to break them and go beyond their limits and beyond the limits of Bulgarian literature. This ambition of his to surpass in the field of fiction not only his predecessors and contemporaries, but also himself, is perhaps his most positive trait. In this respect, he is very similar to another of our writers, who is his first teacher and mentor in the literary field - Anton Strashimirov, whose work also arouses a disturbing feeling of something unfulfilled. But Strashimirov is by nature spontaneous and contradictory, extremely active and deeply social. His rebellious spirit draws him not only into contradictory literary whirlwinds, but also into all the social hurricanes of the era. His insatiable curiosity pushes him towards the most diverse activities.
