Love. Hope. Homesickness. Farewell. Accusation. All these feelings are felt in the new book collection "Letter to Bulgaria from young Bulgarians around the world". The Chance for Children and Nature of Bulgaria Foundation brings together in the book the most sincere and exciting works of 28 talented young authors living abroad. They are participants in the VI literary competition "And children conquer worlds. Show that you can!" on the topic "My letter to Bulgaria".
The book collection "Letter to Bulgaria from the young Bulgarians around the world" is the second in the series about the "voice", the thoughts and feelings of the children towards our homeland. It is a kind of mirror of the feelings and attitudes of young people living outside our country and is an interesting and important comparison of the first book "My letter to Bulgaria", published last year with the works of young Bulgarians living in the homeland.
"The children's stories and essays deeply touched us and brought us hope for the future of Bulgaria. The works of all participants are extremely bright and strong and fully deserve their place in the book," said Liliana Slavova, President of the Chance for Children and Nature of Bulgaria Foundation.
"This project was interesting because it reflects the mood of young people abroad. The palette is rich - at one hand young people say goodbye to their country, as if forever. And on the other hand the rest promise to do everything possible to return when they can." summed up the famous Bulgarian writer Radoslav Gizgindzhiev, who was also chairman for the second consecutive year of the prestigious competition.
The beautiful cover is again the work of the talented Burgas artists Elena Mazneva and Rostislava Nacheva, graduates of the Chance for Children and Nature of Bulgaria Foundation and the Center for Young Talents.
Has the permanent residence abroad refracted the prism of their worldview towards their homeland? Is the thread broken between the young people and Bulgaria? Readers will find their answers to these and many more questions in the wonderful works of young authors.
The collection of stories and essays of literary talents can already be purchased online at biblio.bg or in bookstores around the country.
