| Summary |
"Bulgaria" by Frank Fox is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the complex history and nuances of Bulgarian identity, tracing the nation's journey through periods of war, liberation, and cultural development in the context of the Balkans. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts his experiences as a war correspondent in 1912, joining the Bulgarian army mobilizing against Turkey. He reflects on the prevailing British attitudes toward the Balkan conflict, expressing initial prejudices against the Bulgarians and showcasing the contrasting views of the pro-Bulgarian and pro-Turkish factions. As he prepares for his journey, Fox sets out to understand the peoples of the Balkans and acknowledges his biases while promising to recount his observations honestly. This opening portion establishes the groundwork for a more in-depth exploration of Bulgaria's history, culture, and the author's evolving perspective on its people.
