Abstract
The fantastic short story in Macedonian literature has developed along lines
typical for fantastic literature in general; through the folklore collections made
by Marko Cepenkov, it leads to modern artistic literature, thus accomplishing
a synthesis of tradition and innovation of its own. There are numerous authors
in Macedonian literature who are admirers of the fantastic short story as a form
of literary narration within the frameworks of fiction. Some typical forms of
traditional romantic fantastic short stories could be found in the literary work
of Macedonian writers: Slavko Janevski, Vlada Urošević, Mitko Madzunkov,
Krste Čačanski, Dimitrie Duracovski, Dragi Mihajlovski, Aleksandar
Prokopiev, Venko Andonovski, etc. The popularity of fantastic short stories
in Macedonian literature has not diminished over time; on the contrary, it has
gained intensity. The fantastic short story tries to retain the polymorphism of
eyes’ and souls’ visions. In the very name of Romanticism, therefore, we can
say that: “Romanticism is not dead!”.
