Dear friends,
On October 14, 2025, Tuesday, at 6:00 PM in Sofia, in the lobby of the second floor of the National Library “St. Cyril and Methodius”, the second expanded edition of the collection “Mosaic of the Past of Stara Zagora” by authors Svetla Dimitrova and Snezhana Marinova will be presented. Professor Sofia Vasileva will speak about the book and the authors.
The book contains 107 narrated stories. They are divided into 7 sections – Landmarks; History between the covers; Personalities; Events; From here and there; Values and the added Interesting facts about Stara Zagora. With an address to the readers by the authors Svetla Dimitrova and Snezhana Marinova. Introduction by author Prof. Dr. Georgi Valchev. Emotional Essay about Stara Zagora by Snezhana Marinova and the necessary abbreviations for easier use; Literature and sources. The thousand-year history of our city is interesting, entertaining and instructive. Due to various historical, natural, voluntary and involuntary human actions, it is scattered, fragmented, broken into pieces. It is no coincidence that we chose this title of the book. Just as when arranging the mosaic pieces, a new, more beautiful and interesting image is created, so from the various stories and facts we tell about everyday life, about people, about events, about artifacts that form our regional history. And yet, let us recall, as we wrote in the address to the readers: When you leaf through the book and use it, it is good not to forget that: It does not claim to be exhaustive; Plots are described for which data was found from various sources; Each article can be supplemented if you share information unknown to the authors; Dates are indicated in the new style, with the exception of some very important events, for which the old style date is given in parentheses.
