The subheading of the book points that it’s a matter of literary-historical researches dedicated to the actual topic of the bicameral writers. It’s a question of the Macedonians and their tragic destinies throughout many wars, separations and migrations that made them get educated and residing in foreign counties, therefore as a result it is to be anticipated that their literary work is completed in other languages. However, their unique topic was the history, the destiny and the future of their fatherland Macedonia. They were fighting for it with weapons and with words. Those authors whose life chapters and significance are being exposed in front of us thanks to Tocinovski are Arseni Jovkov, Dimitar G. Molerov, Kocho Molerov, Srebro Janakiev, Vladimir Kovachev, Nikola H. Drenkov, Atanas Trendafilov and Angel Karatanchev. Once more Tocinovski presents several new and unknown authors with timeless literary values into the annals of the new and contemporary Macedonian literature. (top)
