From story to tale: The literary creativity of Angel Karaliychev

The purpose of the present study is to focus on the literary work of the world-famous Bulgarian writer Angel Karaliychev, to examine the linguistic and stylistic elements that he introduced during their creation, and to present the author with these characteristics to Turkish readers. While doing so, it is discussed that after the author joined the literary community and began to create his first works, he also began to create works in other literary genres over time. The main aim here is to examine the author's short stories, tales and travelogues under the same lens and to show the author's unchanging style and language of writing. In other words, it aims to show that in whatever style Angel Karaliychev writes, there is a common language that does not change in his works and also what kind of lyrical and fairy-tale work he creates using this language. Another important element is the September literary theme. Here, the September Uprising is briefly described and its impact on the author's literary work is explored. In addition, literary magazines of the period were also mentioned. Scientific articles and evaluations of Bulgarian and Turkish literary scholars and critics published in various libraries in Turkey and Bulgaria and on the Internet were used in the research. The thesis examines whether the periodically changing political and social life in Bulgaria has an impact on the literary work of the author and whether it changes the way of writing. For this, various types of the author's works were highlighted and examined in detail.
