Description
This paper looks at one single fact from the recent cultural history of Bulgaria, the publication of a series of fictional works, The Twentieth-Century Golden Collection, in 2005, which incorporates the achievements of the past cultural periods with the literary consciousness of the last 15 years. One among the 40 books to present the greatest literary achievements of the twentieth century is Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. The article discusses Ondaatje's reception in Bulgaria from the point of view of postmodern developments in culture.
