"His eyes were with his heart, and his heart is far away" Nostalgic Vision in Konstantin Velichkov's Letters from Rome.
- Authors
Milkova, Stiliana
- Abstract
The article focuses on Konstantin Velichkov's travelogue "Letters from Rome." It outlines how Velichkov illustrates his sorrow during his short visit in Rome, where his nostalgia affects his sightseeing of the city's paintings and statues. It notes how Velichkov's writings capture the creative impulse, and reveal the potential nostalgic narrative which tries to revisit a time and place that were lost to the traveler. Other topics include Westernization in literature, the political history of Bulgaria, and exile.
