IN THE MANZ BOOKSHOP – VIENNA

  • Some days ago I was in the Vienna bookshop of the biggest Austrian legal publishing house MANZ- am Kohlmarkt 16. An Austrian colleague approached the cashier next to me, put a big shiny legal book on the desk and said: After all I opted for the Bible. The cashier asked him friendly and playfully: The Old or the New Testament? to which the colleague replied: Both are here.
  • Though I saw the title of the book it makes no difference on the question I put to myself: Is there even one legal book in Bulgaria which is widely respected and appreciated as a legal Bible? Whose author has not been renounced by his own students as creators of a new world? A book where one can find hope, comfort and spiritual sanctuary from the ruling passers-by in law, a legal book whose quotation causes a revered silence?
