| Summary: | The article compares the novels Maitreyi (Bengal Nights) by the Romanian writer Mircea Eliade and Изобретателят (The Inventor) by the Bulgarian writer Boris Chivatchev. The plots of both of these 1930s novels are set beyond national borders while exploring the geography of the subconscious. Both authors explore new aspects of literary themes such as exoticism, cosmopolitanism, love and marriage, sexual identity, the European feeling of colonial and/or cultural supremacy. They reference Depth Psychology through first-person diegesis and by opening up the protagonists’ diaries to the reader. These writers from the Balkans show the proximity to the idea characteristic of other European literatures of this period. |
