Mariana Zakova

Mariana Zakova’s interests are referred to her native land Bulgaria – unfamiliar or not well known. Beautiful, because it has everything – a sea- with hot summer and golden beaches; mountains – wonderful where to go skiing… not to forget! But this country also has got its history which has been stolen little by little – by someone or other – not to be known. The history of Bulgaria is the main topic of Mariana’s books – The Voltron’s Circle (2009), Led by Furies (2011) and The Trumps (2011). The last one unites three novels first of which is The Cries of Samodivas. The other two novels – The Singing Pigeons and I Want to Be with You will be translated into English in the near future. They all are united by a common topic – the past of the state Bulgaria, which you don’t know very well.

Its beginning goes back even before Attila – that chief who comes from the tribe Dulo. The khans Kubrat and Asparuh descend from Dulo as well and they found Bulgaria in the 2nd century AD.

A lot of people are surprised by the fact how huge Bulgaria used to be and how far it used to spread. Its people have their descendants from Caucasus to Ireland, Italy and Germany.

You don’t believe? Why not?!
