Opis

A historical study, taking as its narrative focus the life, death and posthumous fate of Vasil Levski (1837-1873), arguably the major and only uncontested hero of the Bulgarian national pantheon. It refers to the description of the reburial controversy during the final phase of communist Bulgaria, which centered on the search for Levski's bones.
