In the third volume of Unknown for Well-Known Bulgarian Families 25 new stories for famous and not so famous families are included.

The volume is a result of numerous encounters with their successors, as well as stories of contemporaries, biographers, and literary writers. This is the main thread that connects the two previous volumes with this book - it is devoted to those who best know the tobacco merchants, industrialists, politicians, and architects who have drawn the fate of Bulgaria. Today they are almost forgotten for various reasons.

Even if we think we know the private life of Ivan Vazov, Hristo Botev, Dimitar Dimov, P.R. Slaveykov, Yordan Yovkov, Elin Pelin and Emilian Stanev, the new bestseller refutes this. The author brings to light some little-known facts that complement the image of these famous people. Things that are usually missed by their official biographers.

We will continue the walk through the old Sofia markets, visit the once-old neighborhoods of Veliko Tarnovo and the famous Varna pubs and casinos.
