The son of university professor in metallurgy and of accountant, both polyglots, Alexander grew up in an environment brimming with dissident philosophies, secrets societies and mythology. Bulgarian intellectuals at the time were looking for escapes from communist oppression. Dissidence and heresy became the credo of the future writer. His inspiration was fuelled by some books from the family bookshelf and later by his personal adventures.
