Ritamat Na Jivota: Reproduktivni I Vegetativni Tsikli v Bulgarskata Traditsia.
- Authors
Alexova, Vasilka
- Abstract
Valentina Vasseva's "The Rhythm of Life: Reproductive and Vegetative Cycles in Bulgarian Tradition" examines the seasonal reproductive cycles of domestic animals and crops and their relation to the human reproductive patterns. The author aims to establish the specificity of traditional Bulgarian practices in this field as they compare to other neighboring cultures in the Balkans. Richly supported by ethnographic, historical and linguistic evidence, Vasseva's work constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of traditional Bulgarian and Balkan cultures.
