В Преспанските камбани разказва за нарушеното спокойствие на историята. Демонът на борбата е придобил глас. Променили са се Лазар Глаушев, Райко Вардарски, техните последователи. Талевото разбиране за народа освободител се отразява върху личната човешка характеристика. Тя става зависима от борческите добродетели, от личния героизъм. В тази човешка гама звучи повествованието на Преспанските камбани. Творбата не продължава семейно-жанровата тоналност, а решава и нови жанрови и композиционни задачи. В тетралогията на Талев се включва по-особено втората книга - Преспанските камбани. Докато в Железният светилник доминират ... |
