SIN AND ALIENATION (A COMPARATIVE READING OF THE NOVELS DRAGON BY ANTON STRASHIMIROV AND SIN BY GEORGI RAYCHEV)

Abstract

This paper aims to show the connection between sin and alienation from existence by analysing two novels: “Zmey” (“Dragon”) by Anton Strashimirov and “Gryah” (“Sin”) by Georgi Raychev. Some of the main characters of the novels are defined as “foreigners in the existence” – each of them in a different way. Many citations from the two texts make an effort to prove this statement. Sin is explained as a reason for some kinds of alienation from existence.
