Bulgaria marks 174 years since the birth of the famous Bulgarian poet, novelist and playwright, Ivan Vazov, often referred to as the patriarch of Bulgarian Literature.
Various celebrations have been organised across the country to mark the occasion.
In Sofia, the anniversary is celebrated at the monument to the writer in the garden of Saint Sofia and in his house in the centre of the city.
Ivan Vazov is a Bulgarian poet, writer and prominent public figure.
His works reveal two historical epochs - the Bulgarian Renaissance and the Post-Liberation (from Ottoman Rule) epoch. Ivan Vazov holds the highest honorary title of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences - Academician. He acted as Education and People Enlightenment Minister from September 7, 1897 until January 30, 1899.
Vazov’s novel "Under the Yoke" is the most famous piece of classic Bulgarian literature and has been translated into over 30 languages.

The house-museum "Ivan Vazov" in Sofia still preserves the spirit of the times of the famous Bulgarian poet and writer.
