V momenta cheta knigata na Maria Todorova i mnogo, mnogo se zabavliavam. Preporuchvam ia na vseki, koito obicha filmite na Kosturica i slusha muzikata na Goran Bregovich... s edna duma - na vseki, koito e imal shtastieto da se rodi na Balkanite .
"Imagining the Balkans" suchetava raztursvasht analiz na realnata i vuobrajaema vina na Balkanite s ironichno vglejdane v argumentite na protivnika. Bih ia sravnil s "Istoria slaviano-bulgarskaia" , no ot obshtobalkanski mashtab. Hubavo bi bilo da stane nastolna za vseki bulgarski politik. Za razlika ot mnogo ot tiah tazi umna jena ne strada ot kompleks za malocennost pred argumentite na toiagata.
Samata kniga e dokazatelstvo, che malkiat David vse oshte ima kakvo da protivopostavi na vsemogushtia Goliat. No nai-veche, tazi kniga prechistva i osvobojava ot vmeneno chuvstvo za vina.... ostaviam vi sami da precenite, kato ia prochetete. Izkushavam se da citiram samo chast ot uvoda i posveshtenieto:
"..... A specter is haunting Western culture - the specter of the Balkans. All the powers have entered into a holly alliance to exorcise this spectre: politicians and jounalists, conservative academics and radical intellectuals, moralists of all kind, gender and fashion.
Where is the adversarial group that has not been decried as "Balkan" and "balkanizing" by its opponents? Where the accused have not hurled back the branding reproach of "balkanism'?..... "

"To my parents,
from whom I learned to love the Balkans
without the need to be proud or ashamed of them."

Maria Todorova, "Imagining the Balkans", Oxford University Press, 1997
Blagodaria, Maria!
