Under the Yoke

A Timeless Story of Love and Revolution!

For 500 years the Bulgarian people lived under the yoke of the vast Ottoman Empire.

Here the beloved Bulgarian writer, Ivan Vazov, in the most famous of all Bulgarian historical novels, tells the story of the 1876 uprising against Turkish rule.
Militarily, it was a short, uneven and brutal battle, but the wonderful characters that Vazov introduces us to in this thrilling adventure live, even today, in the hearts and minds of Bulgarians, for this is a novel filled with suspense, humor, romance, bravery and, above all, love of country.
