Abstract
The article focuses on Milen Ruskov’s novel “Chamkoria”, which con-cerns one of the most dramatic periods of Bulgarian history – the 1920s. The task of the text is to trace the common places in which “Chamkoria” comes into contact with other modern novels dealing with the same decade. An essential part of the analysis rests on understanding the role of photography as a bridge between the generations of an entire nation and the learned and unlearned lessons of history. The analysis also highlights interesting features of our national psychology, which Ruskov’s novel reaches.
Key words: Milen Ruskov, “Chamkoria”, literature, history, photography
