The paper seeks in the characters of G. P. Stamatov the tragedy of the modern man – the degradation from the creator of material culture to the slave of his own creations. This is an enduring topic in today‘s world, seen today in the prestigious prestige of our pseudo-elite – once at the bottom of society, now – accidentally unprepared at the top but without the necessary qualitative leap in intellectual and social terms. The text aims to show when the necessity of the accumulation of belongings becomes a disease and a dangerous dependence, as well as why the post-liberation Bulgarian in good standing in society feels a hunger not just to have a lot, but to show that he owns, to get legitimacy through others.
