The Washington Post newspaper published an article about Bulgaria that focuses readers' attention on Veliko Turnovo and Plovdiv. The promotion of the old capital is based on the idea of our compatriot Dina Mishev, who emigrated with her family to the USA at the age of 14. This summer, she came to her hometown for a trip with her parents, her brother, her husband and their daughter. She decided to return to her roots after she and her father had successfully undergone cancer treatment. She had breast cancer and he had melanoma. She wanted to tell her child more about Bulgaria, although her heiress doesn`t speak Bulgarian.
For two weeks they enjoyed their home destinations and used the moments to shoot some of the most beautiful places in Bulgaria. Then she wrote a report about her trip and less than a month ago the article appeared in the US edition. The travelogue is accessible from all over the world thanks to the electronic version of the newspaper.
“Veliko Tarnovo was the country’s capital for several hundred years and reigned as one of Europe’s centers of arts and culture in the Middle Ages. (It’s fine to just call it “Tarnovo,” which is what most locals do; veliko, which means “great” in Bulgarian, was only added to the city’s name in 1965.) Tarnovo was the first Bulgarian city to be written about in National Geographic; a story about it ran in the magazine’s October 1907 issue. Its history goes back five millennia and its cobblestoned, red-roofed homes and businesses spill down a steep natural amphitheater created by a sharp bend in the Yantra River " this is a part of the text about the town of Veliko Tarnovo.
The article is accompanied by a photo of the Tsarevets fortress, and it is written that this palace was the home of the kings and heads of the Orthodox Church during the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. Dina Mishev explains that the wall supporting the hill is 12 feet thick.The author also provided a condescending photograph of her elderly parents watching the Asenevtsi monument from a small window of a house on Gurko Street.Thousands of Americans have read the impressions of the Bulgarian woman as the Washington Post issues 670,000 copies. It is the oldest and most widely publicized newspaper in the USA, awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism. |
