Modern Times

The modern times we live in offer rich material for the satirical pen, for which even the ironic mood is not required. The force of exposure is salted and peppered with fresh humor. The wide range of what the epigrams take aim at unobtrusively reminds the reader that the author's active civic and creative stance comes from his refusal to make peace with self-interest, hypocrisy, greed, stupidity, political factioneering, and the love of power — the birthmarks of caveman capitalism, which at a certain moment turn out to be nothing other than the pigmentation of old age.

For the reader there is one consolation as well, however inordinately sad: to take pride in the privilege of having been a contemporary of these modern times, and of having been able to watch, live, the plundering of Bulgaria.
