- Lyuben Dilov Ivanov was born on December 25, 1927 in Cherven bryag, Bulgaria. He graduated from Sofia University in Bulgarian language and literature. He was a Creator of the Award for Bulgarian fiction "Graviton" in 1990. In the last years of his life serious illness limited his ability to create. In many ways Lyuben Dilov is the founder of Bulgarian fiction in socialist times. Then writers as Georgi Iliev and Emil Coral are virtually forgotten, but Svetoslav Minkov was forced to renounce his early works diabolical. Implicit veto over fiction is punctured by Lyuben Dilov. He debuted still as a student with stories in the newspaper "People's Youth". In 1951 he printed essays and realistic stories. His debut book was "Pigeons over Berlin" (1952). His first novel, "The Atomic Man" was orthodox socialist in its first version - selfish American capitalist who fall in the future communist society selflessly. Later Lyuben Dilov rewrote the novel and in the second edition the character already is Bulgarian. Subsequent works have become more and more mature. In "The severity of the suit" is not clear whether more space consuming clash with alien civilization or clash of the main character with his fears. In "The paradox of the mirror" in the guise of fantastic discusses topics of social satisfaction. In "The Way of Icarus" in the foreground are the human experiences and passions of the character, not the mysteries and adventures around him. In "Double Star" the main thing is not returning from space, and moral choice that meets Earth protagonist. In his later works fantastic continues to be a way to show and illuminate reality. He died on June 10, 2008 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
