Poder y resistencia
Trojanow, Ilija
Through the lives of Metodi and Konstantín, the two antagonists who star in this novel and respectively embody power and resistance, Ilija Trojanow recreates the history of Bulgaria from the end of World War II to the present day. Konstantin, a dissident and opponent of totalitarian power who spent twenty years in prison for a counter-revolutionary attack, now lives poorly in a tiny apartment on the outskirts of Sofia, obsessed with tracing the archives in search of documents to help him discover his informers. Metodi, who entered the Party's youth as a teenager and ended up becoming a senior official in the state security services, has adapted to the new political status after the transition. Through both characters -based on the author's conversations with victims of the secret police during the communist regime in Bulgaria- Trojanow pays his personal tribute to the victims of communist repression, which official history continues to silence.
