„Shared Life“ is the first literary work by Dr. Stelyan Kunev, a priest at the „Sveta Bogoroditsa“ temple in Burgas and a Doctor of Theology. The collection contains 24 short stories inspired by his spiritual journey, his encounters with people, and their destinies. The publication also marks the author's 50th anniversary. To date, Dr. Kunev has published scholarly books in the field of theology, including „The Bogomil Doctrine“, „Byzantine Sources for Islam“, and „The Miracle from Zidarovo Village“, as well as numerous scientific articles.

The premiere program includes a dramatic adaptation of some of the stories, prepared by the „Talantino“ theater school. The visual imagery of the characters in the book will be brought to life by the black-and-white drawings of Nikolay Angelov – Gary, which will be exhibited during the event. Dr. Stoyan Georgiev will serve as the editor of the collection and the master of ceremonies for the evening. Admission to the event is free.
