До Чикаго и назад, To Chicago and back от Алеко Константинов / Български бестселър

Aleko Konstantinov’s place in Bulgarian literature is that of an eminent satirist, democrat, humanist and critical realist. His travel book To Chicago and Back is a vivid expression of the new spiritual need of the Bulgarian writer to reflect on their own experiences, to give room to the personal and individual – the unique.

The author’s feelings vary from admiration for and amazement with the magnificent beauty if the Niagara Falls and the achievements of civilization, to apprehension for the fate of the man in that society. There is a peculiar interlace of the traditional and the novel, and a new aspect of patriotism  – a blend of love and criticism, of compassion, understanding and sober appraisal.
