Alexander Alexandrov – a single patron of the second book by Peter Punchev
07.06.2017
The journalist Petar Punchev “found” a sponsor of his second book, in the face of the chief manager of “Razvitie” – Aleksandar Alexandrov.
Days before it went to print, "You are here" published by Zahariy Stoyanov publisher house, became part of the global patronage and donor activity of Alexandrov and Corporation “Razvitie”.
Aleksandar Alexandrov will support the issue with 5,000 Bulgarian leva, which became clear at his meeting with the author Petar Punchev at the office of the corporation.
This is a book - duty, shared Punchchev.
In his words, when he started writing it, he did not know whether it would be a book - a pure autobiography, or a story about the people he met over the years.
At one point, however, he realized that it was a work about his passions in life - the family commemoration, the history of Bulgaria and the culture, with all its manifestations in a number of countries - France, Greece and Russia.
Very important for the author is a small chapter of the book, related to his cartoon enthusiasm. His other weakness, photography, also takes a place in the story with many photos of his travels around the world.
Punchchev is also pleased that the stories are highly informative and have a purely educational character.
The writer tells about his conversations in first-person, the emotions and the passions of his unique encounters with Nikolay Gyaurov, Vladimir Visoki, Maya Plisetskaya, Mister Senko, Prince Charles, Yuri Lyubimov, Sting, Gianni Morandi and Ernie Rubik, about the revolutions in Romania and the war in Georgia, his colorful childhood in Syria warships, his adolescence in the now non-existent Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
“You are here” is an unexpected meeting “under one roof” with Stefan Stambolov, Kemal Ataturk, Lady Strangford and Pencho Slaveikov, who left a deep, inerasable trail in the author's familial memory. But with Georgi Asparuhov-Gundy, Georgi Naidenov – the best goalkeeper of the century and many others, known and sometimes unfairly neglected heroes of blood and flesh.
