Abstract

The article «Diabolizm and development of the Bulgarian fiction in the 20–30-ies of the XX-th century» is dedicated to the problem of functioning of the Bulgarian fantastic literature in the epoch of diabolizm. Typical for the Bulgarian literature esthetic direction «diabolizm» is analyzediIn the scientific research. It is also stated the terminological differences of the Bulgarian variant of horror literature. The work is devoted to the analysis of the particular fantastic features in the works of Bulgarian writers of diabolizm, that is considered as one of the periods of the Bulgarian fiction’s development. It should be noted that the Ukrainian literary criticism has still no clear idea of the Bulgarian diabolic literature, so this scientific research is an attempt to outline the main features and characteristics of diabolizm. Bulgarian fiction comes from fairy tale and myth, which has its folklore and mythological tradition. Therefore, the main sources of such a subgroup of metagenre «fiction» as fantastic literature is fairy tale, old antycanonical fiction and ancient utopian fiction that appeared on the basis of national outlook. The 20-iess of the twentieth century have greatly expanded the opportunities of literary fiction: here are the diabolic fiction of Ch. Mutafova, S. Minkov, V. Polyanov (the symbiosis of folklore and expressionistic principles, the usage of symbolism’s poetics); A. Karaliychev’s folklore fiction (tends to philosophical generalizations, dominance of ethical problems, existing of folk-ballad motives), science fiction parody, utopian and dystopian fiction of S. Minkov and G. Iliev (markedby influences of other literary traditions — German, French, American, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish).
