The third issue of the magazine "More" (Sea) publishes a previously unknown manuscript by Hristo Fotev: poems for children found in the State Archive in Burgas. Editor Diana Fartunova told Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).
"This is a manuscript of a children's book that the city council of the time asked him to write," Fartunova said. Fotev wrote the book and the manuscript was approved, but it was never published.
"The manuscript lay in the archive for 40 years until it was found by chance," the editor said. The book came out this summer as "Morsko konche" (Seahorse). The poems are about the sea and are written for the youngest readers.
The issue traces the manuscript's path from its discovery to publication. Fartunova says the story is very interesting, and the book has great poems for small children.
"More" is a magazine about literature, art and culture. One article in the new issue looks at the covers of books from Bulgarian modernism.
The editors mark three anniversaries. The "Far" community cultural centre (chitalishte) in Burgas turns 80, director Nikolay Polyakov turns 85, and it is 10 years since the death of Hristina Angelova. She set up the Centre for Underwater Archaeology in Sozopol and was its first director.
The issue's selection of the best films of the year is drawn from the programme of the upcoming "Kinomania" festival. Another piece looks at Agop Melkonyan's translations of Armenian classics.
The issue includes Bulgarian authors who live in the US, Sweden and Spain. A report follows a visit by the Burgas club "Morski Raci" (Sea Crabs) to the House of Humour and Satire in Gabrovo.
The illustrations are paintings by Dolores Dilova. The photos are by Emil Enchev, a professional mountain guide, expedition leader and traveller, and were taken in Greenland, Antarctica and deserts.
Issue 3 of "More" will be presented at 6pm on 30 October at the House of the Writer in Burgas, as part of the "Autumn Literary Festivities". The event will include a meeting with the magazine's editors.
