Angel WagensteinElias CanettiBulgariaBulgarian Sephardic JewsPlovdivRuseMultiethnic CitiesPost-Ottoman BulgariaThe aim of this article is to present some commonalities between the works of two writers who share the same Bulgarian and Jewish origin: Elias Canetti (1905–1994) and Angel Wagenstein (1922–). Both writers can be considered as highly multicultural personalities: they both came from Sephardic Jewish backgrounds, and were influenced and fascinated by different cultural worlds such as the Bulgarian one, the Jewish one, the Central- European one, and even more.
This paper will explore the contribution of their birthplaces, respectively, Rustschuk (today, Ruse) and Plovdiv, to the development of what I will define as a particular kind of sensibility for multiplicity which was central to their subsequent cultural and social undertakings.20172020-06-22 04:22:30Delo ni kategorizirano5595COBISS_ID: 20370947NUK URN: URN:SI:UNG:REP:ML1XNFAUsl
