ATSO ŞOPOV’UN SANATINI TÜRK OKURLARINA TANITMAK / REPRESENTING ACO ŠOPOV`S ART TO THE TURKISH READERS

Abstract

Aco Šopov is one of the most eminent personalities in the overall cultural and social
world of Macedonia. In addition to his creative activity, he is also a translator, the founder
of the Struga Evenings of Poetry, an activist of the Society of Writers of Macedonia and,
among other things, our ambassador. Although he was successful in all his activities, Aco
Šopov is synonymous with beautiful poetry, in which the poet conveys his magnificent
and creative energy. His poems have lasting value, they are read with pleasure even half
a century ago and today. Šopov’s poetry arouses great interest for both readers and
scientific researchers. His character and work are the subject of many scientific researches,
and his poems have been translated into several foreign languages. The aim of this paper
is to expand that list of foreign languages. We decided to write this paper in Turkish in
order to present his character and work to the Turkish readers. We hope to arouse interest
among Turkish readers who love poetry, but also among scientific research and do similar
scientific research that will expose and illuminate the great work of this prominent poet.
