- Publisher: Colibri
This engaging book offers visitors a clear and concise overview of Bulgaria’s history and people. Packed with illustrations and tables, it highlights key events in Bulgaria alongside parallel developments in the Western world, providing a rich yet accessible source of information.
The Rose of the Balkans is not a scholarly text but a modern take on Bulgarian history, informed by recent perspectives from Balkan, Bulgarian, and international historians. It equips visitors with insights into the country’s origins and recent events, offering broad context while avoiding excessive detail or definitive judgments.
Recognizing that perceptions of Bulgaria abroad often stem from familiarity with one’s history, the book frames Bulgarian events within the context of Francophone countries, revealing striking parallels and coincidences across Europe.
To ensure impartiality, the narrative draws on accounts from French observers, shedding light on Bulgaria’s unique culture, character, and customs.
