This literary portrait of Ivan Vazov (1850-1921), the patriarch of Bulgarian literature, was written by Panko Anchev (born 1946), one of the nation's foremost contemporary literary critics. Vazov is Bulgaria's timeless writer, but he belonged to a particular period of time and expressed its ideas. We need to view Vazov in the context of the time he depicted and recreated in his works and from the perspective of the mechanism which time used to help shape his writing. Otherwise we can't understand him, his influence and his status as "the people's poet". His talent acquired huge significance for society, which made him want to serve the nation, and this became his mission. Consequently, he created a massive literary product encompassing all genres.
