Abstract:

The article discusses the patriarchal cooperative as part of the traditional cultural system of patriarchal man. The focus is on the deviations from established norms and orders leading to cracks in this world model. This issue occupies a central place in the work of Todor Vlaykov and Mihalaki Georgiev. Placing them in an intertextual dialogue delineates two models of patriarchalism. The dialogue between Vlaykov and Georgiev also outlines a different conceptually attitude in fictional text. And last but not least the points of view of this article are the different aspects in the poetics of two writers who are qualified as „discoverers of the Bulgarian village“. The object of textological researchers are two emblematic works for the authors – “ Grandfather Slavcho’s granddaughter” and “Rada”.
