CRITICAL RECEPTIONS OF THE NOVEL TIME OF PARTING BY ANTON DONCHEV OR ABOUT THE BOUNDARIES OF “OPEN” READING
-
ABSTRACT
The text examines the “open” readings of Anton Donchev’s novel Time of Parting of the last decades through the attitudes towards the history of its creation, the film of the same name and especially through the prism of two opposing ideological doctrines, to highlight the legitimacy of the boundaries of this type of interpretation. The main thesis is that in this way both opposing interpretations with their arguments are made meaningless in their interaction within the field of the novel as a piece of art, as they both neglect the main message of the novel and the actualization of this message in the first decades of the 21st century.
