page from a book with an illustration at the top. The illustration is a black and white drawing depicting two figures in what appears to be an early automobile. One figure is driving, wearing a hat, while the other, dressed in a military-style uniform with a tall hat, is looking out. In the background, stylized clouds or smoke emanate from the car, and stars and a ringed planet are visible in a dark sky. Below the illustration, the text is in Bulgarian. The visible text begins with a dialogue from the driver, who says, "Now we are on Mars – said the driver after a long pause. – Bugler feels calm again." This is followed by another character asking, "Do you know about the Battle of Nations near Leipzig? – he asks. – Marshal von Schwarzenberg attacked Libertkowitz on the 14th of October 1813, and on the 16th of October the battle for Lindenau took place. The offensive of the Austrian troops against Waha- [possibly part of a word] and as a result of all this on the 19th of October Leipzig fell." Another dialogue follows: "– Sir General, – said the driver with a serious voice, – we are just before the heavenly gate, get out, Sir General, let's slide, it's a terrible crowd. They've already made way for our troops." Then, "– I've run over one of them, – cried Bugler, – so they won't block our way." The text continues: "And he got out of the automobile, starting to shout: – Achtung, Sie, Schweinebande!! Look at you, you've been robbed with loot! You can command: 'Forward! Turn left,' you see, General, and therefore they are..." The last visible line is: "without heads." The text refers to historical events, specifically battles around Leipzig in 1813, which is in Germany, not Pazardzhik, Bulgaria. There is no information in the image that suggests any connection to the city of Pazardzhik, Bulgaria.
