This week marks the premiere of three new Bulgarian books that are enriching the book market: "The Chestnuts of the Human Soul," "Eye," and "Boris and His Sons," according to information from the respective publishing houses.

On September 2, the Lemur publishing house will release the novel "The Chestnuts of the Human Soul" by Dragostina Krumova. The team behind the book includes editor Stefka Ognyanova, proofreader Valentina Peneva, and cover designer Habi el Maaza Gomez. According to the publishers, this work is a "fairy tale for every woman in whom a wood nymph dances." The plot centers on the protagonist, Alina, who journeys through life searching for herself with a thirst for beauty and pleasure, though tormented by a painful sense of missing wholeness. A trip through the magical Rhodope Mountains, however, leads her to a series of unforeseen encounters, the book's blurb reveals.

Maria Kassimova-Moase presents her new novel, "Eye," which will be available in bookstores starting September 4. The Ciela publishing house has announced a pre-premiere of the book on that same date at 6:00 p.m. at the Sozopol City Art Gallery, as part of the Apollonia Festival of Arts. The author will meet with the public on September 7 at 6:00 p.m. at the Alley of Books in Sofia, and the official premiere of "Eye" will take place on October 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the City Mark Art Center in Sofia. The work follows the story of three generations of women across different eras — from World War II through the years of socialism, the Revival Process, and the transition period. The narrative spans from Sofia to Burgas and Istanbul, revealing family secrets, emotions, and hidden truths.

Writer Galina Zlatareva returns with her new historical novel "Boris and His Sons," published by Archipelag and Ciela. This is the author's third historical novel, following "The Medallion" and "The Soothsayer." The monumental two-volume epic is being released at a key moment marked by two anniversaries: 1120 years since the death of the ruler Boris and 1100 years since the death of his son Simeon. The plot focuses on the dramatic processes surrounding Christianization under Boris and the subsequent "Golden Age" during the reign of Simeon. Appearing exactly within this historical context, Galina Zlatareva's work will be presented as part of Apollonia on September 5 at 6:00 p.m. at the City Art Gallery (63 Kiril i Metodiy St.) in Sozopol.
