Before rehabilitating the name of this strange man, Paun Genov reclaimed his literature. The trail leads to the immediate and difficult discovery of relatives, turn over the pages of notebooks written in purple or green ink, shabby notebooks, archives preserved in Sofia, Paris and Latin America. Thus in 1996 appeared the collection "Kosta Todorov - The Sunset of the Gods (poems, stories, memories, essays)".

And now, for the first time, we are ready to introduce you this book, a biographical novel about Kosta Todorov, written for almost 50 years.
