Extract

It is not easy for a foreigner to present a true picture of Vasil Stoin from such a different perspective in time and space. One must step into another world. There was a spirit of his time in Bulgaria, which was liberated from the Turks only two years before his birth, causing every educator, every educated person to feel that he or she must play a part in lifting the cultural level of the people and in instilling pride in Bulgaria's heritage. The great figures of the Bulgarian national revival, especially of the 19th century, are called enlighteners (vŭzrozhdentsi). This is the meaning of Raina Katsarova's words, when she writes of Stoin's “enlightener's ardor, vision and self-denial” (1969a).
