 Elena Stefanova – an english teacher :
“By learning and reading these books
you can see the other part of the
English language that lives outside
the textbooks . You can also broaden
your mind and gather points of view
different than yours. It is not just
learning new words but also
practicing the “live language “.
 Milena Stoichkova – Literature and Bulgarian
language teacher :
 “Literature is very helpful to a person whose
aim is to learn and practice a certain
language . It can support you in finding the
character forms of culture which leads you to
discover the thinking of the people , their
orientation towards the world and their value
system . When you are reading a text you can
develop your speech and learn to find the
metaphorical meaning and the layers of the
certain language .“

 A bulgarian vlogger and a
novice in writing author Emil
Conrad has published only
one book, but was able to
answer our question.
According to Conrad english
literature helps people learn
english by enriching our
vocabulary. With every word
you read, with every book you
finish your vocabulary grows
bigger and bigger, he says.
 The well-known british
author Joss Stirling took the
time to chat with us just
before the release of her new
book Angel Dares, the 5th in
her famous series the
Benedicts. Joss’ opinion was I
quote: ‘Well, the obvious
answer is that wide reading
expands your vocabulary and
sense of the rhythms of the
language from poetry to
prose. I'm not sure you can
claim to really know a
language without exposure to
its literature.’
 Mr. Nikolai Tabakov is not only a bulgarian author,
but also publisher at the bulgarian publishing
house ‘Anubis’. Mr. Tabakov’s opinion was: ‘
Literature – if it is – has the quality to deals with
the person, his problems, tragedies and eternal
existential questions. Very often it is
more comprehensive and clearer than other
humanitarian
disciplines - history, philosophy and so on. If a
historical
event is not entered in major literary works,
it somehow
disappears from the horizon. For example - the
Unification of Bulgaria. Furthermore great
philosophers of humanity - existentialists and
idealists all usually speak an incomprehensible to
the masses language, including the archaic
language of the Bible. Well, then the literature
intervene.
 She “translates” great human inventions and ideas and answers
our questions and excitements. Note: When leafing or read on
screen another book, we unconsciously look for our answers
there, our characters who bear some of our characteristics, our
likes. And when
it happens - boom! The man with the book is turn into someone
who not only likes, but who starts to love
respective literary analogue of themselves or their analogue
dreams. Not only. He, the reader, begins to like
and memorize expressions
idioms, often of slang, but close to his understanding, the ones
of his heart. Another example - the biblical version
of slang called "Catcher in
Rye “ by Salinger. That’s how things go. Sometimes it goes as far
as the liked book is transient and
the intelligent reader is fully aware of the weaknesses of the
translation. And he rushes. Where? Into himself, to his
own improvement, to God or to the
world. It doesn’t matter. But he rushes with all his heart.
Otherwise swotting a language is mechanical operation.
 In the opinion of a
student in 12th grade
, literature helps us
to enrich our
dictionary and to
be more literate.
Also as more we
read we begin to
understand the
meaning of the text.
We learn how to
analyze it.
• Ivelina Baltova is a publisher in
•
the bulgarian publishing house
Hermes and she says:
English literature is a way for
everyone to sample a different
culture and expend their
vocabulary. It does us only good
and broadens ones horizons.
 She shared with us that
 Gina Centrello is
President and Publisher
of the Random House
Publishing Group
for her and her company,
English Literature is one
of the main things in
trying to educate young
minds. It helps them
with their life, their
social interaction and
personal enjoyment.
