L'Europeo No.71 | Love in the Time of Cholera | February/March 2021
Love in the Time of Cholera
The first issue of L’Europeo’s new era tells remarkable stories of people and destinies that help us confront the demons of our own present.
These are stories of men and women who, amid outbreaks of plague, the Spanish flu, cholera and AIDS—as well as war, famine and ideological division—managed to preserve their souls through the most extraordinary of human achievements: the capacity to love and to be loved.
Our faithful literary guides in this demanding education of the emotions will be Gabriel García Márquez with Love in the Time of Cholera, Albert Camus with The Plague, Thomas Mann with The Magic Mountain, Dimitar Dimov with Doomed Souls, and many others of their kind.
The renowned journalist, commentator and documentary filmmaker Boyko Vassilev contributes an opening essay placing the present situation within the broader context of history. Historian Emil Djasim continues this reflection through the prism of the pandemic and the “plagues” of more recent times.
The internationally acclaimed photographer and war correspondent Georgi Milkov recreates the year 1816, when a sulphurous cloud hanging over Europe—and the diseases that followed in its wake—drove Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley into the extraordinary creative constellation that gave birth to some of the nineteenth century’s most important works.
Martin Dimitrov, one of the leading figures in contemporary Bulgarian advertising strategy, reflects on the epidemic of our own time.
War, too, forms part of the story of contagion—and of our attempts to hide from it. Dr Lilyana Karadzhova examines Robert Capa and Gerda Taro against the background of the Spanish Civil War. Editor-in-chief Dimitar Stoyanovich turns to the siege of Leningrad, while publisher Lyuben Dilov explores the war in Bosnia.
The great philosophical questions contained within the idea of “love in the time of cholera” are brought to the fore by lawyer Deyan Dragiev in his account of the profound bond between Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt during the age of National Socialism.
