FAITH – THE BASIS OF UPBRINGING IN PETKO SLAVEIKOV’S “PCHELITSA”

  • ABSTRACT

    The study deals with the educational and religious elements of Petko Slaveikov’s Revival children’s magazine “Pchelitsa”. Their presence is conditioned by the author’s views on the role of the child in social construction and the need to integrate them into Christianity. The text aims to highlight the guiding principles in the creation of the faith related publications. Several main themes are identified, united by Christian themes. These are God, duty to others, abstract concepts, Holy Scripture, the prayer, and the man.

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES IN THE REPUBLIK OF LETTERS (THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IV. NAYDENOV, P. SLAVEYKOV, SV. MILAROV AND ST. BOBCHEV IN ONE CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE 1870s)

  • ABSTRACT

    This paper deals with two types of dependence of the Bulgarian journalists from the 19th century – the dependence of the editors from their editions, what they are inclined to do in behalf of them, even to the detriment of their personal writings, on one hand, and the dependence of the personal friendships and hostilities, on the other. The observations are based on some letters from the archive of Ivan Naydenov and other texts that draw the picture of his complicated relationships with Petko Slaveykov, Svetoslav Milarov, and Stefan Bobchev.
