Rapid growth - with these words I would characterize the development of literature and literary science in the People's Republic of Bulgaria. Before our eyes, with each passing year, Bulgarian literature conquers new and new ideological and artistic achievements. What attracts me personally to it is the expansion of the subject matter, the depth of the struggle, the sense of historical optimism, the understanding of dramatic and life-affirming pathos. It was precisely such a feeling that overwhelmed me, a layman, but sincerely loving Bulgarian art, when I read and reread the books of D. Dimov and E. Stanev, of G. Karaslavov and K. Kalchev, of D. Talev and A. Gulyashki, of D. Fuchedzhiev, N. Khaitov and many other talented prose writers. What I am saying clearly does not apply only to prose. In May of this year, Days of Bulgarian Culture were held. E. Bagryana, L. Stefanova, M. Isaev, N. Zidarov read their poems at the Central House of Writers. Their poetry captivated the listeners with the power and brightness of the feeling associated with deep philosophical thought.
