Recently the novel by Petko Ganchev "The
Philosopher" was published. The author shares about it: "The novel "The
Philosopher" is my 41st book ... It consists of two parts. The first part is
entitled "Action and Thought" (A Chronicle) and the second - "Thought and
Action". History dominates the first part, movement and fate of some of the
main characters in our history since 1815. The second is more philosophical.
It contains thoughts about man, soul, man's loneliness, love, death, the
role of words in our lives
,
and the relationship between religion, science and philosophy in the search
for the essence, the liberation of man and his mission.
The final chapter is entitled "Why is
it only experienced as a" University of Immortality" that mixes us with
eternity, does our life achieve the meaning set forth in it?" ... Readers
can get a formal, blurred notion of the themes and the spirit of this novel
of its content, but its true energy and messages can only be achieved after
it is read".
The presentation of the novel “The Philosopher” was carried out with the assistance of the House of Friendship and Friendship Association with the Peoples of Russia and the CIS - Sliven.
