About

BG: Алеко Константинов

Aleko Ivanitsov Konstantinov, also known as Shtastlivetsa ("The Lucky Guy") is best known for his feuilletons and as the creator of the character Bay Ganyo, one of the most popular characters in Bulgarian fiction.

Konstantinov, a cosmopolitan traveler, was the first Bulgarian to write about his visits to Western Europe and America. His visits to the World Exhibitions in Paris, Prague and Chicago provided Bulgarian readers, who had recently gained independence from nearly 500 years of Turkish Ottoman oppression, with a portrait of the developed world.

Hе was assassinated in 1897 near Radilovo while traveling to Peshtera, most likely by mistake with the target being his friend (a local politician), with whom he had just changed places.
