"In 1893, in addition to everything else, the following events occur: on May 1 the American President Grover Cleveland opens in Chicago The World's Columbian Exposition; on June 20 the Bulgarian writer Aleko Konstantinov starts for Chicago. The exposition is opened in front of a large crowd, with much noise and glamour. Newspapers all over the world write about it. Aleko Konstantinov was seen off at Sofia Railway Station by a couple of excited friends and one Bulgarian newspaper wrote about it. The two events seem incommensurable in importance.

This book turned his travel into a big event for Bulgarian culture."… (more)
