This novella is one of the most important works of contemporary Bulgarian literature. It is the poignant story of an elderly, impoverished violin maker, a master craftsman who refuses to trim his values for the modern age, as seen through the eyes of his young protege. Screenwriter Dimitur Stoyanovich says: "In 'A Ballad for Georg Henig' it is God who breathes, speaks, and suffers in order to pay for the sins of all of us yet again. There is something singularly evangelical about Victor Paskov. But with this book [...] he stepped into eternity." Writer Zahari Karabashliev says: "There are books that leave you breathless, and there are books that leave you speechless. 'A Ballad for Georg Henig' is one of those books which just make you want to be a better person. These are the noblest and most beautiful pages ever written in Bulgarian. This small book is perhaps the greatest Bulgarian novel."
