Hristo Botev Poems. Edited by Marco Mincoff.
"Botev Poetry is the reflection of a historical moment on the aspirations of the future. And it is that which lends permanence of 'eternal' values to his poetry. In his feelings, his yearnings, his language, style and imagery Botev is a true poet of the people. That is why his poems are comprehensible to the last man of the masses. That is why they are sung as folk-songs. For him poetry and art in general, is a means for achieving liberty, a weapon in the fight for freedom, a revolutionary manifesto. Struggle is the basic motif of his poetry, just as freedom is its constant aspiration. He sets his poetry social tasks to perform. His sole inspiration is social reality, the revolutionary struggle of the Bulgarian people for political and economic liberation. The hero of his lyrics is the fighter against chorabadlis and Turks, the protector of the poor, the revolutionary fighting not only for the national but the economic liberation of his people, and for something even more: not only for the happiness of his own people, but for the happiness of all labouring humanity."
